When it comes to ideal body weight one answer won't work for everybody.
Here is a simple method to determine what ideal weight should be for woman and man considering different body frames.
For Woman
The ideal weight for a woman who is exactly 5 feet tall is 100 pounds. For every additional inch above 5 feet, add 5 pounds. If you are shorter than 5 feet tall, subtract 5 pounds for every inch you measure below 5 feet.
Next is to determine wheather you have a small or large frame. By using measuring tape, measure your wrist. If your wrist measure exactly 6 inches you have medium frame and weight number you calculated above, does not need to be adjusted. If your wrist measures less than 6 inches, subtract 10 percent from your ideal weight. If your wrist measures more than 6 inches, add 10 percent to your ideal weight.
For Man
The ideal weight for a man who is exactly 5 feet tall is 106 pounds. For every additional inch above 5 feet, add 6 pounds. If you are shorter than 5 feet tall, subtract 6 pounds for every inch you measure below 5 feet.
To determine wheather you have small, medium or large frame measure your wrist. If your wrist measure exactly 7 inches you have medium frame and you do not need to adjust your ideal weight. If your wrist is smaller than 7 inches you have small frame and subtract 10 percent from your ideal weight. If your wrist is larger than 7 inches, you have a large frame and should add 10 percent to your ideal weight.
