For me, i’m 30 years old, male and 5’6 and my healthy weight range would be 114 to 155 pounds. I would love to weigh 155 lol. I was 222 pounds last time I weighed myself. Here’a the link below

you have a lot of muscle now @TheCanuk
BMI won’t work for you anymore.
I have a scale that has a hand grip on a wire and a weighing scale that measures muscle tone and other metrics more accurately. You pull it up to your mid way point and it measures the whole body. other ones go up one leg and down the other and are useless.
BMI doesn’t measure muscle groups so you are bound to be overweight or obese on it,
I recently worked out for two months and put on over 2kg of muscle, but according to bmi i am now overweight. BMI can’t be relied upon for those with muscles.

wonder which formula is best to follow. I’m slowly going into the territory of non-ideal weight, although I’m not really overweight.

Way to go bro. I’m constantly struggling with my weight going between 200 and 210. Hasn’t changed much in over two years…

I’m not sure but honestly I don’t think it really matters. Relaxing works conditions will cause significant variations like how wide your frame is for example, how muscular you are but they do seem to be within about 30 lbs of each other. I think they’re all just a good approximation.
I’d take the middle weight then it’s just like +/- 15lbs
