    What is the Ideal Weight for 146 cm Male in kg?

    Answer

    For 146 cm Male
    Ideal Weight: 50 kg
    Healthy Weight Range: 39.5 kg - 53.2 kg

    146 cm ≈ 4 ft 9 in · Devine formula (1974), adults · healthy range: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 at this height (WHO) · not for pregnancy, children or athletes

    Below 152.4 cm this calculator sets the surcharge to zero and keeps the base 50 kg — a convention of the calculation, not an individual norm.

    FAQ

    What is the Ideal Weight for 146 cm Male in kg?

    For 146 cm Male Ideal Weight: 50 kg Healthy Weight Range: 39.5 kg - 53.2 kg

    What is the normal/healthy weight range for 146 cm male?

    The normal/healthy weight range for 146 cm male is 39.5 kg - 53.2 kg.

    How is the ideal weight of 50 kg for 146 cm calculated?

    By the Devine formula (1974): it starts from 50 kg for a man and adds 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 146 cm ≈ 57.48 inches, 0 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 0 = 50 kg. Below 5 feet (152.4 cm) this calculator sets the surcharge to zero and keeps the base weight.

    Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?

    They are two different models. The range 39.5 kg - 53.2 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 146 cm, while the ideal weight 50 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.46. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
