Hamwi: 72 kg

Formula set: Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi (reference estimates, not prescriptions).

How to use it

  1. Enter height and sex. The output shows a range from multiple formula references (Hamwi, Devine, Robinson, Miller) — this range, not a single number, is the intended output.
  2. These formulas were developed for medication dosing and anesthesia — they assume average body composition and consistently underestimate appropriate weight for people with above-average muscle mass.
  3. A person who resistance trains regularly will function optimally 10–20 lbs above what these formulas suggest. Frame the output as an orientation, not a personal target.
  4. If your weight significantly exceeds the range and you want to reduce, use the Body Fat Percentage Calculator and Calorie Deficit Calculator for actionable, composition-based targets instead.
  5. The most clinically useful individual target for most people is a BMI of 21–24 adjusted for build and body composition — more meaningful than any formula output.

Human review

People can use the browser page to sense-check outputs and charts, but agents should still execute against the contract and discovery endpoints.

Agent playbook

  1. Resolve Ideal Weight Calculator from /agent-tools.json and open its contract before execution.
  2. Validate inputs against the contract schema instead of scraping labels from the page UI.
  3. Open the browser page only when a person wants to review charts, assumptions, or related tools.

Agent FAQ

Should ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent click through the UI?

No. Start with /agent-tools.json, then follow the tool's contract URL. The page UI is for human review, not parameter discovery.

When do tools show Quick and Advanced?

Every tool opens in Quick Start first. Advanced Controls keeps the same scenario, reveals more assumptions or diagnostics, and every tool keeps AI integrations inline below the instructions.

When should an agent still open the browser page?

Open it when a human wants to sense-check the output, review the chart, or keep exploring related tools after the calculation finishes.

Questions people usually ask
Which formula is used here?

Shows Devine, Robinson, Miller, and Hamwi formula estimates as a range rather than a single rigid target.

Can I use metric or imperial units?

Yes. This tool supports both metric and imperial units and remembers your preference.

Is this medical advice?

No. This tool provides general fitness estimates and should not replace medical guidance.

Is this tool free and private to use?

Yes. AI Fit Hub tools are free, no-signup browser tools. Inputs stay in your browser unless you choose to share a URL.

Do these tools replace medical guidance?

No. These outputs are general fitness estimates — not medical advice.

Can I switch between metric and imperial units?

Yes. Every tool supports both systems and remembers your preference in localStorage.
