Using this Table and Readings from the BCA

Pounds of Fat to Lose = (BCA Fat Mass Reading – Target Fat [from table]) + Glycogen Weight

Example

A Client comes in weighing 259 Lbs.

BCA Readings are:  Lean Mass is 171 Lbs.; Fat Mass is 88 Lbs.

You and the Client agree that the target will be 20% Fat (acceptable)

                                               Fat to Lose    =   (88 – 43) + 8(appr. glycogen)

                                                                      =   45 + 8

                                                                      =   53 Pounds
