How much should a man weigh?

Most women try to follow their ownweight, but some are so addicted to the process of losing weight that they do not even notice how they turn from slender to moderate and beautiful forms into unattractive thin people. Let's figure out how much a person should weigh, according to the norms, and what to do if your weight is more or less than the established norms.

How to calculate the weight norm?

For a long time, nutritionists recommended to calculate the weight by the formula of Paul Brock - a famous French surgeon.

This formula is very simple: men need to deduct from their growth of 100, and girls - 110. Thus, it turns out that a woman of 170 cm in height should weigh 60 kg.

However, today, nutritionists consider this form obsolete and offer another, developed by the National Institute of Nutrition Bucharest.

For a woman, it looks like this:

• Ideal weight = (50 + (0.75 * (height in cm - 150)) + ((age - 20) / 4)) * 0.9

For a man:

• Ideal weight = 50 + (0.75 * (height, cm - 150)) + ((age 20) / 4)

Here is an example of a calculation for a 30-year-old woman growing 170 centimeters:

• (50 + (0.75 * (170-150)) + ((30-20) / 4)) * 0.9 = 63.5 kg

However, it can not be said that this formula is absolutely accurate, in any situation it is necessary

take into account the features of the build. The above tables will help you in this. True, it is first necessary to understand who you are - asthenic, normostenic or hypersthenic. The test will help you in this.

In addition to the constitution, it is important to take into account, of course, andthe "composition" of weight. If your weight increases, because you pump up muscles in the gym, then it is hardly necessary to fight it. Well, if excesses are associated with excessive use of various kinds of harmfulness and sweets, then, perhaps, you need to take action, namely, to go on a diet.

Of course, if your weight is below normal, you should also go on a diet, not just to reduce weight, but to recruit.

How correctly to type or reduce weight?

The most harmless way to lose or, on the contrary, gain weight - increase or decrease the daily intake of calories by 20-30%.

First, calculate your daily consumption using the formula:

• For women: Daily consumption = (10 * weight + 6.25 * height - 5 * age - 161) * k;
• For men: daily consumption = (10 * weight + 6.25 * height - 5 * age) * k;

k is the coefficient of life:

• sedentary lifestyle - 1,2;
• playing sports 2 times a week - 1.375;
• playing sports 4 times a week - 1.55;
• playing sports 6 times a week - 1,725;
• daily sport - 1,9.

The Internet has a lot of ready-made dailymenu for a certain amount of calories, so you do not have to long and painfully count how much and what you need to eat. Here you will find a ready-made menu for 1500 kcal, here - for 2000, and here - for 2500.
