Imagine a male client who weighs 200 lb and has a body fat percentage of 20. His body fat percentage goal is 15. What is the client and current body fat in pounds?

To find the client's current body fat in pounds, multiply his weight by his body fat percentage: 200 lb × 0.20 = 40 lb of body fat. His lean body mass is 200 lb - 40 lb = 160 lb. To reach his goal of 15% body fat, he would need to weigh approximately 188.24 lb, which means he needs to lose around 11.76 lb of body fat while maintaining his lean mass.
