- • Based on standard adult body proportions
- • Does not distinguish between muscle mass and fat mass

Goal Setting Examples
Formula Differences (70kg Male Example)
| Formula | Result | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Devine (1974) | 70.0 kg | Standard medical use |
| Robinson (1983) | 71.3 kg | Revised for modern frames |
| Miller (1983) | 68.5 kg | Often lower estimates |
| Hamwi (1964) | 72.0 kg | Easy mental math |
The Healthy Range feature is great. Instead of chasing a single number, I now aim for the 'Green Zone' which feels much more achievable.
