What is considered a healthy weight for a man who is 6 feet tall?

[lovegirlgirlsaskguy]

Determining a healthy weight for a 6-foot-tall male can be influenced by several factors, including body composition, muscle mass, and overall well-being. Generally, a healthy weight range for a 6-foot-tall man may fall between 140 to 183 pounds (63.5 to 83 kg) based on standard body mass index (BMI) calculations. However, it's crucial to remember that individual health is not solely determined by weight, and factors like diet, exercise, genetics, and lifestyle choices play pivotal roles. How do you think it should be? I'll pressure my boyfriend accordingly.

A healthy weight for a man who is 6 feet (72 inches) tall can vary based on factors such as body composition, muscle mass, and individual health goals. There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, but here are some general guidelines to consider:

The Body Mass Index is a common tool used to estimate a healthy weight range based on height. For a man who is 6 feet tall, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is often considered healthy. This translates to a weight range of approximately 140 to 189 pounds.

It's also important to consider body composition, as muscle weighs more than fat. A man with a higher percentage of muscle may weigh more but still be healthy. Conversely, someone with a lower percentage of muscle and higher body fat may fall within the BMI range but may not be as healthy.

Health is not solely determined by weight and height. Other factors such as genetics, activity level, diet, and overall physical and mental health play crucial roles in determining what is healthy for an individual.

For personalized guidance on a healthy weight, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian. They can take into account your specific health needs and help you set realistic and healthy weight goals.

Remember that health should not be solely defined by a number on a scale. It's essential to focus on overall well-being, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and mental health. Additionally, maintaining a weight that allows you to live an active and fulfilling life is often more important than simply aiming for a specific number on the scale.

I think anything in the range you mentioned would be healthy because it depends on how you overall feel in general mostly. If you feel better at 140, then be that but if you feel better at a slightly thicker build, do that.

Like you already came to the conclusion yourself, bmi isn't very accurate if your boyfriend trains/has muscles.
I would honestly look at bodyfat % at this point. There are scales for that that can be bought for cheap and give you a rough estimate with an error of maybe 1-2%.

If he doesn't train just use bmi.

You don't need a healthy weight number, you need a mirror.


Look at the mirror, and see what you have and what you want to have. Put in the effort and get what you want. (keep health in mind)


Then go on the scale and note down the weight.


That's your healthy and good weight.

140 pounds for a six foot tall man? Maybe if the six-foot tall man is actually a very tall 15 year old boy, Otherwise, 140 is too thin to look good regarding most men, no matter what his body type is. There are probably a few exceptions but I'm only 5 foot 8 so 4 inches shorter and I looked emaciated after dropping to 140 early in the COVID epidemic. The government and the medical profession need to get real or stop setting up these ridiculous weight guidelines for people. They also tell us now that they want our blood pressure at 110 and while some people can function like that, a lot of people feel tired or like they are going to pass out!

My question, asked quite respectfully to you is what's all this "pressure" stuff about? I always considered a woman who is so interested in telling her guy what he should weigh as a warning sign for her being inappropriately controlling. Unless I weighed more than my comfort level would allow or were unhealthy due to my weight, If my girlfriend tried to pressure me about what she or government statistics said I should weigh, I'd be leaving rubber tracks in her driveway in short order!

BMI is not an accurate measurement of a healthy weight. Body Fat percentage is a better indicator. There are people that workout and have more muscle than the average person and since muscle is 8X the weight of equal volume of fat they weigh more. A body Fat percentage between 10-20% for men is considered healthy.

Funny the science isn’t settled precisely. There’s BMI, which is a good-ish measure…but still not definitive. And people can get obsessed with the numbers of it. When really it’s more about health, and I guess if it’s important looks. Like get a six pack and a pair of guns on your arms. But maybe don’t obsess about weight too much. Keep an eye on it.

185 lbs if they have muscle tone and fit, BMI is more for people that don’t have much muscle mass. I’m 5”10” and 192 but I’m more muscle and don’t look overweight

[LiamJHayden]

I'm 6'2 and around 195. According to BMI I am borderline overweight, except my body fat is under 10%. Definitely have to go beyond the charts on this.

[Kingofkings1992]

You can’t measure what a good weight for someone is based on height alone, because people have different natural builds. Some 6 foot tall men would look fat at 200 lbs, while others would look thin. Weight is not the same for everyone.

[Longshanks1968]

175 to 200
I'm 6”3 and since high school I've ranged 179 to 260 sitting at 215 now.
At 260 I wasn't fat at all, all muscle

[handsomelad70]

Whatever weight at which he's healthiest given his bone structure.
