What is the ideal weight for a 6' 1 37-year-old man?

Answer 1

There is no ideal weight for a 6' 1" 37-year-old man. Body weight is a misleading measure. Since people have different builds, different people of the same height and sex can have the same percentage of body fat and yet have different body weights. What is important is body composition. The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. Therefore, what counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. As a male, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 10 to 15% for good health. To determine your percentage of body fat at home, obtain some plastic body fat calipers and do a simple skin-fold test. Body fat calipers are not expensive, are readily available to buy, and can replace a scale or balance.

Answer 2

Anything from 135-160 pounds sounds about right. If you're very muscular, than weights of anything from 170-220 pounds might be right. If you're not muscular, mostly fat, and you weigh more than 185 pounds, you might want to look into a diet. If you weigh less than 135, I'd try and add some fat and/or muscle.
