Actually BMI isn't bad for a 'range'.
More muscley types (myself included) might be a couple of kilos over the top end of healthy range for the height.As an example for men:
5 foot 4 - 49.2kg - 66.4kg
5 foot 6 - 52.2kg - 70.6kg
5 foot 9 - 56.7kg-76.6kg
6 foot - 62kg - 83.7kg
6 foot 3 - 67.5kg - 91.2kgThe lower weight seems super low to me but I've never been a thin build.
You can be super lean and hench at the top end of the weights, or very chubby, depending on how much muscle you have.

Apologies if covered before but wondering what is a reasonable rule of thumb for working out a suitable weight range for a given height (ie not BMI or, for men, 50kg + 1.9kg per inch over 5 feet)?
