How much fat do I need to lose to be 8-10 %...? I was never really good in math, sry...

~19lbs to get to 10%
~23.25 to get to 8%

Assuming no change in lean mass.

I would set my sights at around 10-12 if I were you just so you dont get discouraged and once you get there you can decide if you need to get chiseled

How much lbs would that be...?


Would I be sitting around 185-195 lbs?

So you can do this yourself in the future:

Divide your lean body mass by the desired fraction of LBM that your goal is. This will give target body weight.

e.g. Goal is 12% BF, Target percentage of Lean Mass is (100%-12%)=88%
convert to proportion => 0.88

So 176.42lb of lbm/0.88 = 200.5 lbs would be your target body weight.

You'd need to lose 215 - 200.5 = 14.5 lbs
