Multiple Formulas Used: Robinson, Miller, Devine, and Hamwi formulas — all scientifically validated
Why Multiple Formulas? Different formulas work better for different body types. We average them for a balanced estimate.
Body Frame Matters: Small frames should aim for the lower end, large frames for the higher end of the healthy range.
Athletes: May exceed "ideal" weight due to muscle mass while maintaining excellent health.
