Formula note

Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi are height-based historical reference equations. They do not measure body fat, muscle, frame size, or health status.

Learn / Ideal Weight

Use formulas as a reference, not a verdict.

Why TDEE Lab shows a range

Formula comparison is more honest than a single target. Each equation uses a different height-based assumption, so the range shows how much the estimates can disagree.

What these formulas miss

They do not account for muscle mass, bone structure, age, training history, or health context. Pair this page with TDEE and body-composition tools for a fuller starting point.

Frequently asked questions

Is this my perfect weight?

No. The calculator shows historical reference formulas, not medical targets or personalized prescriptions.

Which formula should I trust?

Use the formula comparison as context. The spread can be more useful than choosing one equation as correct.
