From a medical standpoint, ideal body weight is calculated by the following equations. It's what doctors and pharmacists use when calculating medication doses and kidney function.

Men

50kg + 2.3kg * inches over 5 feet in height

Women

45.5kg + 2.3kg * inches over 5 feet in height

That's 112 lbs at 5'5" which is 13 lbs below what my doctor said (125 lbs). That's like finding a unicorn these days.

5'5" would come out to 125 pounds.

45.5 + 2.3*5 = 57kg

57kg*2.2 = 125 pounds

That chart is telling me I need to gain 30 pounds. No thanks.
