A member asked:

What is the correct weight dor a person of height 5 ft 11 inches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
