1. What is the Target Weight Calculation?

The target weight calculation helps determine what your weight would be at a different body fat percentage while maintaining the same amount of lean body mass. This is useful for setting realistic fitness and body composition goals.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the target weight formula:

\[ \text{Target Weight} = \frac{\text{Current Weight} \times (1 - \text{Current BF%})}{(1 - \text{Target BF%})} \]

Where:

Current Weight — Your current body weight in kilograms
Current BF% — Your current body fat percentage
Target BF% — Your desired body fat percentage

Explanation: The formula calculates how much you would weigh at your target body fat percentage while maintaining the same lean body mass.

3. Importance of Target Weight Calculation

Details: Understanding your target weight at different body fat percentages helps set realistic fitness goals, track progress more accurately, and develop appropriate nutrition and training plans.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current weight in kilograms, current body fat percentage, and desired target body fat percentage. All values must be valid (weight > 0, body fat percentages between 0-100).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation provides a theoretical estimate based on maintaining lean body mass. Actual results may vary based on individual metabolism and body composition changes.

Q2: What are healthy body fat percentages?
A: For men: 6-24% (athletes: 6-13%, fitness: 14-17%, average: 18-24%). For women: 16-30% (athletes: 16-20%, fitness: 21-24%, average: 25-30%).

Q3: How often should I measure body fat?
A: Every 4-8 weeks is sufficient to track meaningful changes. Daily measurements can be misleading due to normal fluctuations.

Q4: Does this work for weight gain goals?
A: Yes, the formula works for both fat loss and muscle gain scenarios, as long as you're maintaining the same lean mass assumption.

Q5: What's the best way to measure body fat?
A: DEXA scans are most accurate, followed by Bod Pod and underwater weighing. Calipers and bioelectrical impedance provide reasonable estimates for tracking changes.
