About this lean body mass calculator

Lean body mass is weight minus fat: muscle, bone, organs and water. Boer (1984), men: 0.407 × weight kg + 0.267 × height cm − 19.2; women: 0.252 × weight + 0.473 × height − 48.3. For 178 cm and 80 kg that is 32.56 + 47.53 − 19.2 = 60.9 kg, about 76% of body weight. Protein targets and some drug doses use LBM.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

How accurate are lean body mass formulas?

They assume typical build. Very muscular or very lean people get underestimates. DEXA or bioimpedance measure it directly.

Is lean body mass the same as muscle mass?

No. Skeletal muscle is roughly half of lean mass; the rest is bone, organs, skin and water.
