Lab 9: Determine a Healthy Body Weight

Your client, Brunhilda Swampson, has come to you as a weight loss client. She is moderately active, and has been part of your exercise program for 6 weeks. You normally see her 2x per week and you take the following body composition assessments:

Weight= 152
Body fat percentage=33% from bioelectrical impedance, 32% from skinfolds

1. What is her FFM?
2. What is a reasonable BF% goal?
3. In light of this, what is a reasonable FFM?
4. Determine a target body weight using FFM/%FFMgoal
5. Determine total weight loss for the client.
6. At a safe loss of 1-2 lbs per week, what is the expected timeline?
