What is the average weight of a 6' man?

Weight is not as important as BMI. Many charts will claim to know your BMI just by looking up your weight but they're wrong. Lean Body Mass is the most important number. For example, charts may say that someone should weigh about 180, but by checking his BMI he might find that his lean body mass is 214. If you're serious about exercise and physical condition you need to have your BMI calculated and you don't get it from stepping on a scale. Many sports physicians and physical therapists have the apparatus to PROPERLY test your BMI.

If someone weighs 142 pounds and has 10 percent body fat how much weight can they lose to get to 7 percent body fat?

It has very little to do with how much "weight" you lose, it's strictly how much fat you lose to drop bmi. You could lose 5 lbs and remain at the same bmi if all you lose is water and muscle. Dropping bmi takes a calculated and delibrate diet and exercise routine. If you are 142 lbs and are at 10 percent, then that means you have approx 14lbs of fat on your body. If your goal is to drop 3 points, then you simply figure out what 7 percent of 142 is....approx 10. So if you were to drop about 4 pounds of fat while keeping your overall weight at 142 you should find yourself at 7 percent.

Would 72 inches 130 pounds be healthy on an bmi scale?

To calculate BMI (Body Mass Index), you can use the formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))^2. For a height of 72 inches (6 feet) and a weight of 130 pounds, the BMI would be approximately 17.7, which is considered underweight according to the BMI scale. A healthy BMI typically ranges from 18.5 to 24.9, so a weight of 130 pounds at that height would not be considered healthy.
