Body Weight Calculations
by Hratch L. Karamanoukian, MD and Pierre S. Aoukar, MD Posted: April 5 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.
