Ideal Weight for 5 Foot 10
At 5 ft 10 in (178 cm), a man's ideal weight is about 70–75 kg (155–166 lb) and a woman's about 66–69 kg (145–151 lb) across the four formulas. Pick your sex and add your age below.
Find Your Ideal Weight
Required: the ideal-weight formulas use biological sex (male or female) as a variable, so the estimate can’t be calculated without it.
Age adjusts the healthy BMI reference range for adults 65+ (senior guidelines use BMI 23–28).
Enter your height in centimeters (e.g., 170 cm)
Valid range: 152–214 cm (approx. 5 ft – 7 ft)
The ±10% frame adjustment is applied to all four formulas. Clinical medication dosing uses the unadjusted medium-frame value.
Women (>165 cm): Small <15.9 cm · Medium 15.9–16.5 cm · Large >16.5 cm
Valid range: 10–30 cm

Quick Answer
Ideal Weight at 5 Foot 10
At 5 ft 10 in (178 cm), medium frame, a man's ideal weight is about 70.3–75.3 kg (155–166 lb) and a woman's about 66.0–68.5 kg (145–151 lb) across the four formulas. Pick your sex above and add your age for the figure that fits you.
Men and Women at 5 Foot 10
Five foot ten is 70 inches — ten above the 5-foot base the formulas start from. For a man, Miller returns the lowest target at about 70.3 kg, Robinson 71.0 kg, Devine 73.0 kg and Hamwi the highest at 75.3 kg, averaging 72.4 kg (160 lb). For a woman at the same height, the four cluster more tightly — roughly 66.0 to 68.5 kg — averaging 67.3 kg (148 lb). The tighter female spread simply reflects the smaller per-inch increments in the female versions of the equations. These are arithmetic estimates from height and sex alone; they say nothing about your body composition.
Turning the Estimate Into a Plan
The single most useful thing to notice is the spread: at 5 ft 10 the formulas disagree by about 5 kg for men, so treat the average as an anchor and the healthy BMI range shown in the calculator as the wider, more forgiving target. If your goal is to move toward one of these figures, the Goal Weight Calculator turns it into a week-by-week timeline, and the TDEE Calculator gives the daily calories behind it. A different height? The Ideal Weight Calculator handles any stature.
Figures use the Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi ideal-body-weight equations (Pai & Paloucek, 2000). They are population averages, not medical advice, and do not account for muscle mass or individual health conditions.
