Goal Weight : Men

In my words... When asked, “Roger, are you on this diet with Amye?” I say, “Of course I am. I eat whatever she feeds me and I have to say, it has all been really good food. Besides, I wouldn’t require her to fix a separate meal for me. That's not fair to her. I love what she’s been putting on the table. We both look and feel better." -Roger

The table below will help you determine your goal weight.

First, find your height in the left column. Then read across the row for your Ideal Body Weight. This is an estimated target weight based on CDC and World Health Organization guidelines. There can be other factors in determining your goal weight, so it's important to check with your physician about what is a good target for you.

After you have identified an Ideal Body Weight, there is an estimate for the total caloric intake needed for weight loss (to get to that weight) as well as a maintenance diet (to maintain that weight once you've achieved your goal).

Once you have determined your daily caloric intake, click on the number to see the number of servings you should be eating at each meal, along with more information and your shopping list for the first week.
