The B.J. Devine Formula is an old-school way to ballpark your ideal weight. It was cooked up by this doc, B.J. Devine, back in the early 1900s for the American Medical Association.

B.J. Devine Ideal Weight Formula:

Ideal Weight (kg) for male: = 50 + 2.3 * (Height [cm] - 60)

Body Mass Index (BMI) Formula:

BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)^2

Healthy BMI range: 18.5 to 24.9


Determining the ideal weight for a 5 feet 0 inches male requires considering various factors and methods. While the B.J. Devine Ideal Weight Formula and BMI provide initial estimates, it's crucial to consider individual factors and consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
