Calculate lean body mass using 3 scientific formulas from your weight and height.
Lean body mass (LBM) is total body weight minus fat mass, representing the combined weight of muscles, bones, organs, and water, estimated using height, weight, and gender-specific formulas.
Formula
Boer (male): LBM = 0.407W + 0.267H − 19.2 | Boer (female): LBM = 0.252W + 0.473H − 48.3W = Body weight in kg
H = Height in cm
LBM = Lean body mass in kg
Worked Example
75 kg male, 175 cm tall
Did you know? Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 40% of total body weight in healthy adult males and 30% in females, making it the single largest component of lean body mass (source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition).
