How do I use the Fat-Loss Calculator in the Styku Scan Report?

Overview

The Fat-Loss Calculator appears in the Client Summary Scan Report and helps practitioners and clients set a measurable fat-loss goal, understand what body fat percentage that goal represents, and estimate how long it will take to reach that goal based on planned workout frequency.

Steps / Details

1. Create a Fat-Loss Goal

1. Open the client's profile in the Styku software.
2. Navigate to the Fitness Tab.
3. Adjust the fat-loss slider to set the amount of fat the client wants to lose.
   • The display updates in real time to show:
     • The amount of fat targeted for loss
     • The body fat percentage the client would reach after losing that amount
     • The body fat percentage ranking/classification associated with that result

2. Set a Workout Frequency

1. Use the Workouts Per Week slider to enter how many workouts the client plans to complete each week.
   • The slider ranges from 0 to 7 workouts per week.
2. As you increase the number of workouts, the tentative goal date adjusts to reflect a faster rate of fat loss.

3. Review the Goal in the Summary Report

• Once saved, the fat-loss goal is automatically displayed in the Client Summary Report.
• At follow-up appointments, the practitioner and client can compare current scan results against the saved goal to monitor progress.

Notes

• The fat-loss goal must be set under the Fitness Tab before it will appear in the summary report. If no goal has been set, this section will not populate.
• The tentative goal date is an estimate based on increased energy expenditure from exercise. Individual results will vary based on diet, metabolism, and other factors.
• Saving an updated goal after a follow-up scan will overwrite the previous goal. Document prior goals separately if longitudinal goal history is needed.

How the calculation works

The calculator uses a caloric deficit model: one pound of pure body fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories of energy. Based on the workout frequency you enter, it projects how much fat mass the client could potentially lose over the estimated timeframe.

Key assumptions and limitations

1. No lean mass loss assumed. The projection models losing only fat mass. In practice, real-world weight loss typically involves some lean mass loss as well — the calculator does not account for this.
2. Total body weight is held constant. The result is a hypothetical: "What would this client's body composition look like if they lost X pounds of pure fat while lean mass and weight stayed the same?"

Because lean mass is held constant, the projected body fat percentage and fitness ranking shown in the report are a motivational target, not a guaranteed physiological outcome. Use them to set direction and frame expectations with clients.

If this resolves your issue, no further action is needed.

If the problem persists, contact support and include: the client profile name, software version, and a screenshot of the Fitness Tab and Summary Report.
