Healthy Weight Calculator
See the healthy weight range for your height.
Your height
Rather than one perfect number, health guidelines define a healthy weight as a range for your height. This reflects a simple truth: people of the same height can be healthy at a variety of weights depending on their build and muscle.
How the range is set
The healthy weight range comes from the normal BMI band of 18.5 to 24.9. This tool takes your height, applies that band, and converts it into an easy-to-read weight range in kilograms or pounds. Below the range is considered underweight, and above it moves into the overweight category.
Where to land inside it
Anywhere within the range is considered healthy. The right spot for you depends on how much muscle you carry and how you feel and perform. Someone who strength trains may sit toward the top of the range while looking lean, which is completely normal.
A note on muscle
Because this range is based on BMI, it does not account for muscle mass. Very muscular people can weigh more than the range suggests while carrying little fat. If that is you, a body fat measurement gives a clearer picture than weight alone.
Getting there and staying there
SmaartCoach builds the meal plan and workouts to move you into your healthy range and, just as important, keep you there without dieting forever.
Frequently asked questions
What is a healthy weight for my height?
A healthy weight is the range that puts your BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. This tool converts that band into kilograms or pounds for your exact height.
Is a healthy weight range better than a single number?
Yes. A range accounts for natural variation in build and muscle. Anywhere inside the band can be perfectly healthy.
What if I am above the range but muscular?
BMI-based ranges do not account for muscle, so athletes can sit above them while lean. Check your body fat percentage for a clearer picture.
How do I get into a healthy range?
A modest calorie adjustment paired with strength training moves you toward the range while keeping muscle. Consistency is what works.
