How Much Should a Man Weigh? Men’s Height and Weight Chart
Many Factors like Body Mass Index (BMI) Play a Role in Determining the Recommended Weight for a Man
Obesity is on the rise in America which means the average man is overweight. This means that when determining a healthy weight for a man, “healthy” and “average” are far from synonymous. Fad diets and society’s ever-changing standards of health make it seem impossible to figure out what the picture of health looks like. But when it comes to the ideal male weight, one-size-fits-all isn’t an appropriate approach.
Learning a healthy weight range for a man can depend on a number of different factors; so before you pigeonhole yourself into an unrealistic number on the scale based on your favorite Instagram weight lifter or raw liver eater, consider that many different things play a part in determining a healthy weight for every individual. Let’s bring some clarity to what a healthy weight should look like for a man and where you might land.
Healthy Weight and BMI (Body Mass Index)
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is how the CDC determines whether or not your weight is within the normal or healthy weight range. BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight, calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms or pounds by the square of height in meters (or feet). A high BMI is linked to obesity and other serious risk factors including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, and some cancers. You can use a BMI calculator to determine your BMI based on your height and weight.
A couple things to remember about BMI:
- BMI is one of several factors to consider when determining a healthy weight.
- Age is a factor in BMI for children because they are still growing, but does not have any bearing on your BMI as an adult.
- BMI takes into consideration your height and weight but does not take into account other important factors of health such as proportion of body fat (for example, BMI misses important markers like more fat around the midsection which is unhealthier and linked to heart attacks and strokes), muscle mass, or waist or hip circumference.
- BMI does not distinguish different ethnicities or geographies which all have varying levels of body fat.
- BMI should not be the only measure to determine a healthy body weight.
Using the following weight and height chart from the NIH (National Institutes of Health) can help you determine whether or not your weight is in a healthy range based on your height.

Determining Your Ideal Body Weight
Figuring out a healthy weight range is important since the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) link being overweight or obese to a number of serious health risk factors and chronic conditions, including an elevated risk for cancer.
Finding and achieving a healthy weight by eating a nutritious diet and exercising regularly means you’ll feel (and look) your best. The FDA recently approved a new weight loss drug that, showed significant weight loss in participants in clinical trials. While using your BMI can help you to calculate whether or not you fall into the ideal weight range for your body type, for the best and most accurate results, it is recommended to combine BMI measurement with other measurements such as your waist circumference and hip-to-waist ratio.
