You decide: "ideal weight" charts are based on fallacies. If we believed them, then most triathletes would be "underweight" and most professional football players -- fantastic athletes -- would be "overweight." your ideal weight is whatever looks and feels right to you and enables you to perform your chosen sport(s) best.

Http://ExRx.com: Exercise prescription website http://exrx.Com has calculators that can help you - roughly 5'7 if female we guess should be 100+35(100 pounds for 5 feet and 5 pounds for each inch) for male 100+42 for small build and higher for bigger build - quick formula for paramedics.
