Ideal Body Weight Chart

Calculate Ideal Weight

To find your ideal weight range you need to identify your frame size. To do so follow the instructions below:

1. Keeping your fingers straight, turn the inside of your wrist towards the body.
2. Lift your forearm up to a 90 degree angle.
3. With your other hand, measure the distance between the two prominent bones, on either side, of the elbow joint.
4. You can do this either by using your thumb and index finger and transfering that to a tape measure, or by using a set of calipers.
5. Compare your measurement with the elbow measurements for medium framed men or women in the tables below.
6. Lower measurements than those listed for a medium frame indicate a small frame, and higher measurements indicate a large frame.
