Solving problems with a decrease in Body Fat %:
1.) 100% - current BF% = % fat free weight 2.) % current fat free weight (in decimal form) x Body Weight (lbs) = weight you don't want to lose 3.) 100% - new BF% = % new fat free weight 4.) Weight you don't want to lose / % new fat free weight (in decimal form) = new weight (lbs) 5.) Old weight - New Weight = lbs of BF you must lose
