A member asked:
I'm 38 yrs and 5' 10" tall. what would be my ideal weight? i'm currently at 167 lbs

Approximately 166: There are several ways to estimate ideal body weight. One way for men with a medium frame is to use the following equation: 106 pounds + 6 pounds for every inch over 5 feet. In your case this would equal 166 pounds.
