Example Calculation
Suppose you are 5'7" (170 cm) tall and have an athletic body type.
- Convert height to centimeters: 170 cm
- Apply the base formula: 170 × 0.9 = 153 kg
- Apply the athletic factor: 153 × 0.9 = 137.7 kg
- Convert to pounds if needed: 137.7 × 2.20462 = 303.6 lbs
The calculator would estimate your weight as approximately 137.7 kg (303.6 lbs).
