One way to determine your healthy weight is with a chart like this: men"s weight would generally be at a higher end, women"s weight would generally be at lower end. But a healthy weight is more than just weight-to-height ratio. Refers to a body weight greater than expected for a specific height (usually determined with a standard height weight chart) It is possible to be overweight without being fat (e. g. , athletes with lean muscle mass), but body fat is usually the cause of overweight. An excessive accumulation of body fat beyond what considered healthy for a person of a certain age and sex. A healthy amount of body fat for a typical young adult (20-29 years old) male is 7%-13% of body mass. A healthy amount of body fat for a typical young adult (20-29 years old) female is 14%-19% of body mass. Fat free mass consists of, muscle, bones, body organs (e. g. heart, liver, kidneys), and body water.
