Weight Loss Questions - How Much Should
I Weigh For My Height
Weight Loss Question:
How much should I weigh for my height?
Weight Loss Answer:
There is actually no ideal or specific weight you
should be relative to your height. The real factor you want to focus on is your
overall body fat percentage. For example, someone who is your current height/weight,
could have 35% body fat with a small amount of lean muscle. On the other hand,
you could take another person with the exact same height/weight but they have
15% body fat and a higher level of lean muscle. Don't be worried too much about
what the scale reads. Focus on fueling your body with nutrient dense food, building
lean muscle with strength training and burning the fat off with cardio workouts.
This way you will have a lean and toned physique no matter what your weight is.
The minimum percent body fat considered safe and acceptable for good health
is 5% for males and 12% for females. The average adult body fat
is closer to 15%-18% for men and 22%-25% for women. You can review
