How do I determine my ideal weight? The best way to determine your ideal body weight is to use a BMI calculator.

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.

To find your ideal weight, enter your information into the BMI calculator found at this link at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Health Information Center.
