Important Notes
Ideal weight formulas are estimates, not absolute targets
Body composition (muscle vs fat) is more important than weight alone
Athletes may have higher weight due to muscle mass
Age, genetics, and health conditions affect ideal weight
Consult healthcare providers for personalized advice
Focus on overall health, not just weight numbers
