Setting goals by first calculating your ideal body weight is an excellent place to start.

There are a few simple ways to do this, but some are more effective than others.

How To Calculate Your Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI = (your weight in pounds * 703) / (height in inches * height in inches)

My BMI would be calculated as follows:
BMI = (175 pounds * 703) / (71 inches * 71 inches) = 24.4 BMI

According to this BMI calculation, I would be considered just inside the high end of an ideal body weight.

This is the main problem with the BMI calculation. If you have a lean and muscular build like I do, BMI calculations are not the best indicator of your ideal body weight.

In my opinion, calculating your body fat percentage is a better calculation for your ideal body weight.

How To Calculate Your Body Fat Percentage
There are several ways to measure your body fat percentage:
– Body Composition Weight Scale
– Body Fat Skin Fold Calipers
– Hand Held Body Fat Analyzer

What Is Your Body Fat Percentage?
Body Fat Percentage = Total Body Fat Weight / Total Body Weight

My body fat percentage would be calculated as:
Body Fat % = 14 pounds of body fat / 175 pounds total body weight = 8% body fat

How To Calculate Your Lean Body Mass
Lean body mass is fat free mass comprised of muscle, bones, and bodily fluids. My lean body mass would be calculated as:

Lean Body Mass = 175 pounds total body weight – 14 pounds of body fat = 161 pounds of lean body mass

According to the American Council on Exercise, here are the classifications for body fat percentage:

Essential Fat:
Men: 2-5%
Women: 10-13%

Athlete Body Fat Percentage Levels:
Men: 6-13%
Women: 14-20%

Fitness Body Fat Percentage Levels:
Men: 14-17%
Women: 21-24%

Average Body Fat Percentage Levels:
Men: 18-24%
Women: 25-31%

Obese Body Fat Percentage Levels:
Men: 25+%
Women: 32+%

How To Calculate Your Ideal Body Weight And Body Fat Percentage
To show you how to calculate your ideal body weight, I’ll share a real world example of John. John wants to be in the “Athletes” range with a body fat percentage goal of 10% body fat, within one year.

John’s current stats:
– 5″11″
– 230 pounds
– 30% body fat percentage

Weight From Body Fat:
230 pounds of total body weight x 30% body fat = 69 pounds of body fat

Weight From Lean Body Mass:
230 pounds of total body weight – 69 pounds of body fat = 161 pounds of lean body mass

John’s Ideal Body Weight Calculation Goal:
161 pounds of lean body mass x 1.10 = a goal weight of 177 pounds

John’s Fat Loss Goal:
230 pounds – 177 pounds = 53 pounds of body fat to lose

For John to hit his 10% body fat goal, he will have to lose approximately 53 pounds of body fat, in 52 weeks.

This is an example of how to calculate your ideal body weight and create a measurable weight loss goal.

A question I see very often here at Fit Father Project HQ is, “Dr. Anthony, what is a healthy body fat percentage for men?”

We’re going to cover the science and quick tips in today’s short video. Getting to the ideal body fat percentage for males requires hard work, dedication, and a structured plan that you can work on with accountability. With today’s advice, we’ll make it as simple and sustainable as possible.

So, in this video and associated article, I’m diving into the charts, ranges, and measuring techniques that will help you find out what body fat percentage you’re currently at and what your healthy body fat percentage is.

First off, I want to clear up any confusion you might have about BMI and Body fat percentage. These two are often confused as measuring the same thing.

Basically, BMI is a ratio figure between your height and weight. To get your BMI result using the metric system, you simply divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters, then divide the result by your height again.

For example: a 73kg man who is 1.78m tall would do the below:
73 / 1.78 / 1.78 = 23.04 BMI

Using pounds and inches, you can use the following formula:
[weight (lb) / height (in) / height (in)] x 703

As you can see from the formulae above, there is nothing factored for age or amount of body fat. Therefore, a 73kg man could have 10% or 30% body fat and still fall in the exact same BMI range. In reality, they are both very different in terms of physical appearance and most likely physical health.

Body fat percentage is exactly what it suggests. It’s the amount of body fat you have on your body. This is obviously completely exclusive to each person, so is a much better indicator than BMI.

Low body fat will show more muscle definition so it will depend on what your goals are and help you reach an ideal body fat percentage for males.

An ideal body fat percentage for men that want to show muscle and appear lean will be around the 8-12% mark. Going below that can be difficult to maintain over the long term… but certainly isn’t impossible.

When it comes to a healthy body fat percentage men often presume that getting into low single digits is the way to go. However, getting that low not only takes extreme dedication but also removes much-needed padding that protects your body. If you have any doubt, ask a bodybuilder how it is to walk close to a contest!

Your next step to getting to a healthy body fat percentage for a man will be to incorporate high-intensity weight training and cardio, as a regular thing on your schedule.

My recommendation would be to use my 24-Minute Workout that is completely free to download so you can get started today. Find it at → 24-Min Fat Burning Workout → https://www.fitfatherproject.com/youtube-24-min-optin

This workout combines strength training, cardio, and flexibility into one, using what is known as Metabolic Resistance Training. The best style of workout to shift body fat fast.

Combine this with HIIT training or Tabata training, and you’ll be burning body fat in no time and getting to a healthy body fat percentage for men! Check out the video to see the charts that show a healthy body fat percentage for males and females alike.
