For a man standing 5 feet 10 inches tall, a healthy weight ranges between 130 to 173.5 pounds. The body mass index, or BMI, which relates height and weight, is used to assess healthy body weights.
BMI ranges are classified into four groups. A person is deemed underweight if his BMI is less than 18.5. That translates to 129 pounds for a 5-foot-10-inch man. A healthy weight is defined as one with a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 to 29.9, which corresponds to a weight range of 174 to 208 pounds in this example. A body weight of more than 208 pounds equates to a BMI of more than 30, which is deemed obese for this man.
