Here in the States the military H/W chart and the medical H/W chart are much different.
The military realizes that muscle weighs more than fat and their people need muscle to accomplish their mission. They also realize that metabolism and body shape shift as we age. They adjust the charts accordingly.
The military chart allows 25 pounds more than the medical chart for a man my height and age.
We should consider that in any SHTF situation or in preparing for one we should go with the military expectation. We will need the few extra pounds even if there is no combat involved with our experience.
