Enter Gender, Age and Height ft in — height Feet and the remaining scenario settings to review lean body mass with this tool. Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components.
Result = the equation or estimation model selected in this calculator, applied to the entered measurements. A numerical check does not establish clinical validity; review the method and limitations.The calculation links Gender, Age and Height ft in — height Feet to lean body mass. Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components. A change in the estimate is not necessarily a change in muscle tissue.
Enter Gender, Age and Height ft in — height Feet and the remaining scenario settings to review lean body mass with this tool. Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components.
Estimate the portion of body mass assigned to non-fat tissue by the selected method. Distinguish lean mass from skeletal-muscle mass.
Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components. A change in the estimate is not necessarily a change in muscle tissue.
Prepare Gender, Age, Height ft in — height Feet, Height ft in, Weight lbs, Body fat percentage (%) and Method. Choose the method, enter the required measurements and compare later results only with the same method and units.
Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components. A change in the estimate is not necessarily a change in muscle tissue. Equation choice and measurement uncertainty affect the result. It cannot establish nutritional needs, medicine doses or an individual body-composition diagnosis.
Use the full settings in the worked-example table. They produce Lean Body Mass: 126 lbs. Compare the method and units as well as the displayed number.
The displayed relationship is Result = the equation or estimation model selected in this calculator, applied to the entered measurements. A numerical check does not establish clinical validity; review the method and limitations. Choose the method, enter the required measurements and compare later results only with the same method and units.
Equation choice and measurement uncertainty affect the result. It cannot establish nutritional needs, medicine doses or an individual body-composition diagnosis. For personal care, discuss the measurements and method with a qualified clinician.
Worked lean body mass calculator example. Set Gender = Male; Age = 30; Height ft in — height Feet = 5; Height ft in = 9; Weight lbs = 160; Body fat percentage (%) = 16; Method = Boer Formula. The corresponding output is Lean Body Mass: 126 lbs. Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components.
Estimate the portion of body mass assigned to non-fat tissue by the selected method. Distinguish lean mass from skeletal-muscle mass.
Choose the method, enter the required measurements and compare later results only with the same method and units.
| Field | Example value | Entry check |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | Male | Use the option required by the selected estimation model. |
| Age | 30 | Use the stated unit and the measurement required by this model. |
| Height ft in — height Feet | 5 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Height ft in | 9 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Weight lbs | 160 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
| Body fat percentage (%) | 16 | Enter a percentage in the form requested by the field, keeping its stated time basis. |
| Method | Boer Formula | Select the method before interpreting the result; different modes answer different questions. |
Relationship used for this example: Result = the equation or estimation model selected in this calculator, applied to the entered measurements. A numerical check does not establish clinical validity; review the method and limitations.
Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components. A change in the estimate is not necessarily a change in muscle tissue.
| Output | Displayed result |

| Lean Body Mass | 126 lbs |
With these settings, lean body mass is 126 lbs. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
Lean body mass includes water, organs, bone and other non-fat components. A change in the estimate is not necessarily a change in muscle tissue. Equation choice and measurement uncertainty affect the result. It cannot establish nutritional needs, medicine doses or an individual body-composition diagnosis.
Replace the illustrative gender value (Male) with your own value, then complete the other inputs for the same scenario. Choose the method, enter the required measurements and compare later results only with the same method and units.
