Posted: April 5

Summary:
The best website I have seen regarding various calculations for ideal body weight is by Steven B Halls, MD.

You can click on your height, weight and body frame type and get several different calculations and recommendations for weight.

As well, you get a number for body mass index, which gives you a risk category for the development of heart disease.
