The most common method to determine ideal body weight is called BMI. This is a persons mass (in kilograms), divided by their height (in meters).

Ideal BMI is usually considered 18.5-24.9 (though this is disputed)

There are limitations to BMI, an athlete may have a higher than normal BMI due to more muscles and denser bones, while an elderly person may have a deceptively low BMI due to bone and muscle loss with age.

There are also machines of various complexity and accuracy that will determine a persons total body fat percentage, which bypasses some of the limitations of BMI.

Usual body weight is what a client/patient tells you they usually weigh.



So for example if Bob says he now ways 280lbs but he usually weighs around 240lbs, 240lbs is the usual body weight and 280lbs is the actual body weight.

There are many ideal weight calculators online. One just needs to enter an age, the gender, in this case male and height. Some don't ask for your weight. Either way, these calculators will do the work for you.

What should a 17 year old girl that's 5 foot weigh?

There is a measure of whether a person is under weight, normal or over weight called Body Mass Index or BMI. It is calculated as body weight divided by the square of the height. Under weight is a BMI of less than 18.5. Normal is between 18.5 and 25, overweight is between 25 and 30 and obese is over 30. For someone who is 5 feet tall a "normal" BMI would be a weight between 94 pounds and 128 pounds.
