Hi guys!
First off, not sure if this post is in the right area, moderators please feel free to move it if its out of place!
Well, when I was trying to calculate my goal weight, I used my BF percentage to see how much fat I had on me:
169 lbs, 38% BF = about 105 lbs lean mass, 64 lbs fat mass.
So that means 105 pounds of me is not something I'd want to lose, correct? And obviously I can't be ALL lean mass, I'm aiming for a 21 or 22% BF. So -- how does this work? Will I lose some of that lean mass?
I was thinking this might be a better goal, if I won't be losing much lean mass:
120 lbs, 21% BF = 95 lbs lean mass, 25 lbs fat.
Is this a reasonable goal, or will I lose more lean mass than that? I figure if I wanted to get down to 105 and have a 22% BF I would have to have about 82 lbs lean mass and 23 lbs fat. But I don't think I want to lose 23 lbs of lean mass . . . do I??
As you can see I am quite muddled here!
Any advice would be most appreciated.
