Lean Body Mass Calculator
About Lean Body Mass
Lean Body Mass (LBM) is the total weight of your body minus all fat mass. It includes your bones, muscles, organs, and water content. LBM is an important metric for:
- Determining appropriate protein intake
- Setting realistic weight loss goals
- Monitoring muscle mass changes
- Assessing overall body composition
Important Notes:
- This calculator provides an estimate and should not replace professional medical advice.
- For accurate body fat percentage, consider using calipers, DEXA scan, or bioelectrical impedance.
- LBM naturally decreases with age, especially without regular exercise.
- Maintaining or increasing LBM requires proper nutrition and resistance training.
