How much you need to eat (i.e. how many calories you need) is depended on height, weight, age and how much "stuff" you do in a day. However 'weight' (i.e. bodyfat) depends on how much you actually eat, relative to what you need to eat. So body fat is slightly dependent on height and weight, but not directly.

The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. What counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat.If you are a male, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 10 to 15% for good health. If you are a female, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 15 to 20% 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.
