Twitz's Training & Diet Journey

[Back In Black]

It's difficult to do an exact calculation because of the potential loss/gain of LBM.

So we will assume that your LBM will remain static in the following.

Lets say you are 160lbs @ 22% bf. that's a total of 35lbs of fat. You want to be 15% so you need to lose just over a quarter of that total, approximately 11lbs or so.

You can fairly easily do a calculation along the lines of

Total body weigh x % of bf you wish to lose

In your case

160lbs x .07 = 11.2

Sorry, I have trouble committing calculations to paper, I do them all in my head, but the above is the short way and as accurate as any other.

Hey, thanks B in B!! That helps a lot! So the goal is to lose 11-12lbs of fat, and HOPEFULY not any muscle.

Thanks again
