What this means

Lean body mass (LBM) is everything in your body that isn't fat: muscle, bone, organs, water and connective tissue. It's the engine behind your metabolism and strength. If you know your body-fat percentage we compute it directly; otherwise we estimate it from height and weight using the Boer formula.

Recommendations

  • Preserving lean mass while dieting is the whole point of eating enough protein and lifting weights.
  • Use LBM to set protein targets (aim ~1.8–2.2 g per kg of total bodyweight) and to track recomposition.
