Ideal weight (Devine)

Type height and sex. 175 cm and male give 70.5 kg. 165 cm and female give 56.9 kg. 180 cm and male give 75.0 kg. Devine is a dosing formula, not an “ideal body”.

Not a clinic verdict and not a physique target. Devine estimates mass for doses. Lorentz lives on ideal body weight.

How it works

Ideal weight (Devine) in this calculator is a mass from height and sex. Height in cm becomes inches: hIn = cm / 2.54. Male: 50 + 2.3 × max(0, hIn − 60). Female: 45.5 + 2.3 × the same. 175 cm and male give 70.5 kg. The calculator rounds to 0.1 kg and appends kg.

165 cm and female give 56.9 kg. 180 cm and male give 75.0 kg. Below 60 in (152.4 cm) the 2.3 term drops and you keep 50 kg or 45.5 kg. This is not the BMI 18.5 to 24.9 band.

The height field is height. Sex is a list M or K. K is female, not F. Current mass, age, and activity do not enter 70.5 kg. They only compute a delta, BMI at that mass, and a BMR sketch when you fill them.

Lorentz at 175 cm and male gives 68.8 kg on ideal body weight. Here Devine gives 70.5 kg from another formula. Neither number is the “right body”.

Type height, pick sex, then Calculate. A comma in 175.5 parses. Zero height leaves a blank. A dosing sketch, not a diet and not a doctor order.

175 cm and male give 70.5 kg. 165 cm and female give 56.9 kg. 180 cm and male give 75.0 kg. With a US header, height is in inches and the result can be lb.

Formula

male: 50 + 2.3 × max(0, hIn − 60); female: 45.5 + 2.3 × max(0, hIn − 60); hIn = cm / 2.54

How to use

  1. Type height in cm, for example 175.
  2. Pick male (M) or female (K).
  3. Click Calculate. The result is 70.5 kg.
  4. 165 cm and K give 56.9 kg. 180 cm and M give 75.0 kg.
  5. Lorentz lives on ideal body weight. Here Devine stays a dosing formula.

175 cm and male = 70.5 kg

Devine from inches. 175 cm and male give 70.5 kg. 165 cm and female give 56.9 kg. Dosing, not a physique.

Devine
A dosing formula. 175 cm and male show 70.5 kg. This is not Lorentz.
height
The field in cm. 180 cm and male give 75.0 kg. hIn = cm / 2.54.
dosing
Where this formula comes from. 70.5 kg is not a body goal. A drug dose is a doctor call, not this card.

Examples

Example 1

  • 175 cm
  • male (M)

70.5 kg

What Devine weight at 175 cm and male? 70.5 kg. A dosing formula, not a physique.

Common questions

What Devine weight at 175 cm and male?

70.5 kg. hIn = 175/2.54, then 50 + 2.3 × (hIn − 60), rounded to 0.1.

What about 165 cm and female?

56.9 kg. Base 45.5 instead of 50. The sex value is K.

What about 180 cm and male?

75.0 kg. The same formula, a taller height.

Is 70.5 kg an ideal body?

No. Devine is from dosing. Not a physique target and not a clinic verdict.

How is this different from ideal body weight?

There, Lorentz. 175 cm and male give 68.8 kg. Here Devine gives 70.5 kg.

Does current mass change 70.5 kg?

No. It only computes a delta and BMI at that mass. Devine itself uses height and sex.

What if height is below 152.4 cm?

hIn minus 60 is negative, so max leaves 0. Male gets 50 kg, female 45.5 kg.

Does a comma in 175.5 work?

Yes. 175.5 and 175,5 are the same height.

Does a US header change the result?

Yes. Then the field is inches, and fmtMassKg can show lb. The 70.5 kg examples are metric.
