About Lean Body Mass

Learn what Lean Body Mass means and why it's important for your health and fitness goals.

What is LBM?

Lean Body Mass (LBM) refers to the total weight of your body minus all the fat mass. It includes muscles, bones, organs, skin, and water.

Health Benefits

  • Higher metabolic rate
  • Better insulin sensitivity
  • Improved bone density
  • Enhanced physical performance
  • Reduced risk of chronic diseases

Tracking Progress

Regular LBM measurements help track muscle gain during strength training and prevent muscle loss during weight loss programs.

Formula Used

This calculator uses the Boer formula, which is considered one of the most accurate equations for estimating lean body mass:

Men: LBM = (0.407 × weight in kg) + (0.267 × height in cm) - 19.2
Women: LBM = (0.252 × weight in kg) + (0.473 × height in cm) - 48.3

Healthy LBM Ranges

Compare your Lean Body Mass with average healthy ranges based on height and gender.
