I often see 70 kg as a target weight in my clinic, especially for patients looking to move from the ‘overweight’ back into the ‘healthy’ BMI category. It’s a very solid, sustainable weight for a large portion of the population. However, at 70 kg, I often look closely at body composition. If a patient is 70 kg but has a very low muscle mass, they may have a higher body fat percentage than their BMI suggests. I always encourage patients at this weight to incorporate resistance training to ensure that their 70 kg is made up of healthy, metabolic-active tissue.
