Are Body Weight Charts Accurate?

Are Body Weight Charts Accurate?

As I mentioned in my other blog, Body Weight Charts are used by life insurance companies, so they are accurate.  The big caveat is your frame. If you fall in the borderline of over weight and obese, you should make sure your calculating your frame size into the equation. Especially if your thinking about slacking.

Body frame size, which accounts for bone mass and muscle mass, plays an important part in determining theoretical weight ranges. These ranges in turn act as guides for people to determine the weight they should be, depending on their frame size. There are three frame size categories: small, medium, and large. Each range varies, depending on your gender.

The fastest and easiest way to check your frame size is the finger method:

Step 1.

Fold your fingers around the smallest part of your wrist. If your fingers overlap your thumb, you have a small body frame.

Step 2.

See if your fingers meet together with your thumb. If so, you have a medium body frame.

Step 3.

Check to see if your fingers and thumb have a space between them. If so, you have a large body frame.

Once you've determined your body frame, you can now find your ideal weight by plugging in your info to the following site: http://www.healthcentral.com/ideal-body-weight
