About this calculator

Lean body mass (LBM) is total weight minus fat mass. The Boer formula is the most widely validated estimate and is used clinically for drug dosing. Typical LBM is 75–90% of body weight for men and 65–85% for women.

Formula

Men: LBM = 0.407×kg + 0.267×cm − 19.2 Women: LBM = 0.252×kg + 0.473×cm − 48.3
