What's Your Frame Size?

I recently used this calculator to determine my frame size. I have been told by my O.B. that I am at a healthy weight, 147lb., for my large frame size. I was curious about this "frame", so I entered my wrist circumference (6.5in.) into the calculator to give a more accurate frame size result, & it stated I do have a large frame. It does makes sense, as my hip bones and ribs currently protrude a bit, but I just wanted to investigate a bit more after speaking with my Dr.

When I use the B.M.I./Ideal weight calculator, it says I should be 135lbs. So my question is about the last part of the Body Frame calculator’s description, where it states “Add 10 percent for a large frame size, and subtract 10 percent for a small frame size to the ideal weight calculator”. Adding 10% would then put my ideal weight at 148.5lbs. So that means that for my frame size, my weight is healthy & right on?

Here’s the Calculator description with the link! What do you guys think?

Many of the current techniques for body and weight analysis such as the standard Body mass index do not take into account the different body frame sizes of people.
One easy way to determine your body frame size is to wrap your thumb and major fingers around the smallest part of your wrist.

• If the fingers overlap you are a small frame.
• If your fingers just about touch you are a medium frame.
• If your fingers don't touch you are a large frame.
• Use calculator to determine more exact frame size.

*Add 10 percent for a large frame size, and subtract 10 percent for a small frame size to the ideal weight calculator.
