Ideal weight for 190 cm (6'3")
190 cm is about 6'3" in feet and inches. This page brings together everything tied to that one height: the WHO healthy weight range in kilograms, a complete table matching every relevant weight to its BMI and category, and the historical ideal weight formulas for a man and a woman of 190 cm (6'3"). Whatever weight in kilograms brought you here, the table below almost certainly already includes it.

A single height still covers a wide span of healthy weights because BMI classifies a ratio between weight and height squared, not a body. Bone structure, build and muscle mass all vary between two people of the same 190 cm, and none of that shows up in the table above: a wider frame and a slighter one can both land in the same row with the same category. That is by design, not a gap in the table — it is what a population-level screening tool can, and cannot, tell you about one person.
What BMI never measures is the split between fat and muscle, or where fat is stored in the body. Two people sharing a row in the table above, with the same weight and the same BMI, can have very different bodies. Our page on the limitations of BMI covers this in full, and is worth reading before treating any single row as a verdict.
Ideal weight formulas for 190 cm (6'3")
Before BMI became the standard reference, a few formulas tried to estimate a single “ideal weight” from height alone. They are still cited today, so here is what two of them give at 190 cm, for a man and for a woman — our full ideal weight guide explains where each one comes from and why the WHO range above remains the sturdier reference.
For a man
- Lorentz formula80.0 kg
- Devine formula84.0 kg
- Creff formulaNot available without an age provided
For a woman
- Lorentz formula74.0 kg
- Devine formula79.5 kg
- Creff formulaNot available without an age provided
Three historical formulas, provided as indicative benchmarks — the healthy weight range above remains the preferred reference.
Reading this range at a taller stature
At 190 cm (6'3"), the WHO healthy weight range reaches 90.3 kg at its upper bound — a bigger number than shorter heights show, simply because more height means more body to carry the same BMI. It is not a higher bar to clear, only the same 18.5–25 band scaled to this height.
Taller, muscular builds are also where BMI is most often misread: extra muscle mass adds weight without adding fat, which can push a fit, tall person’s BMI into the overweight band on paper. The table above shows exactly where that boundary sits at 190 cm, but it cannot tell muscle from fat — that distinction needs a different measurement.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I weigh at 190 cm (6'3")?
According to the World Health Organization, a weight between 66.8 kg and 90.3 kg gives a Body Mass Index in the normal range for 190 cm (6'3"). Any weight inside that interval counts as normal weight — not only its midpoint — because BMI classifies a ratio, not a single ideal figure.
Is 70 kg for 190 cm (6'3") too much?
No. At 190 cm (6'3"), 70 kg gives a BMI of 19.4 kg/m², inside the "Normal weight" category. The WHO healthy weight range for this height is 66.8–90.3 kg, so 70 kg sits comfortably within it.
Is the ideal weight the same for a man and a woman at 190 cm?
Under the WHO healthy weight range, yes: the calculation depends only on height, so the same 66.8–90.3 kg interval applies to a man and a woman of 190 cm alike. Older formulas disagree — the Lorentz formula, for instance, gives 80.0 kg for a man and 74.0 kg for a woman at this height, using a different constant for each sex.
Can BMI underestimate how healthy a muscular person is at 190 cm?
Yes. BMI only compares weight to the square of height and cannot separate muscle from fat. A muscular adult at 190 cm can weigh more than 90.3 kg and land in the overweight category on the table above while carrying little excess fat — a limit worth keeping in mind alongside these numbers.
