Im 137lb with a 14% body fat, if I want to reduce that to 9% body fat while maintaining my lean mass what will my end mass be? In other words, how heavy would 5% of my body fat at 137lb be? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't exactly work like that, % changes as body mass changes. But you'll need to lose around
omg I think I did it right (I suck at math) (just came up with this now but it makes sense)
137 * 0.14 = 19.18 Fat
Desired BF% = 9% = 0.09
x = weight you need to lose, assuming it's all fat
(137-x)(0.09) = (19.18 - x)
12.33 - 0.09x = 19.18 - x
x-0.09x = 6.85
x = 6.85/(1-0.09)
x = 7.53lbsThe best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
