What a good weight for 5'10 male?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
129-174 lbs.: Desirable body mass index (bmi), a measure of body fat based on height and weight, is 18.5-24.9. This comes to 129-174 pounds for a person who is 5'10". If you're overweight and want to lose weight, aim for the upper end of the range. It's best to lose weight gradually, around 1-2 lbs per week.
