FAQ

Questions worth ranking for

Each calculator page keeps its own compact FAQ block to widen long-tail coverage.

Q1

Is “ideal weight” universal?

No. Performance, muscle mass, age, and health context matter.

Q2

Why show a BMI range too?

It gives a broader range instead of a single target.

Q3

Can athletes sit outside the range?

Yes. Very muscular people often do.
