## Resource

How much should you weigh? In this Ask a Nutritionist episode, dietician Leah Kleinschrodt breaks down common tools like BMI and ideal body weight formulas, where they fall short, and why weight alone doesn’t tell the full story. She also shares the health markers and lifestyle factors that matter more, from blood sugar and cholesterol to energy, sleep, body composition, and sustainable habits.
