Which Ideal Weight Chart for men is best?



Which ideal weight chart for men is best? I do not know either. That is why I have put all together in one table. Just find your weight and then look down. If none of these work, see what is said in this website about %Fat and ideal body measurements for men. Remember these charts can not distinguish the diference between muscle and fat.

The frist table is in pounds and the second table is in kg. I hope these charts help. I know that many many healthy people do not fit the averages that are seen in these charts.
