Hi All.. just got a quick question for ya Opinions appreciated...I was looking at this Body Frame Calculator which determines your ideal weight based on height and body frame size..
Ideal Body Weight Calculator - MyDietExercise.com
Now I set myself a target of hitting 145lbs which would give me a nice average 22.7 BMI (according to Calculate your BMI - Standard BMI Calculator)
When I put in my target weight of 145 into the body frame calculator (i am medium frame apparantly) it tells me that this would leave me underweight.. not healthy weight :S And that I should be between 148 - 162.8 lbs (the high end of that range putting me in BMI 25+ so overweight according to BMI rules :S)
So I was wondering what exactly should I be following here.. should I be following the BMI tables so stick with my 22.7 BMI.. or should I be following body frame size ideal weight range which would make me in the higher BMI range (23-26)
What is more accurate way or determining what my ideal weight is? BMI or Body Frame? Thoughts on this topic appreciated
Take Care xx
