Estimate your lean body mass

Lean body mass is everything in your body except stored fat, including muscle, bone, organs and water. Enter your weight, height and gender using either unit system to estimate your lean mass and the remaining fat mass using the Boer formula. Athletes and anyone tracking muscle often watch lean mass rather than total weight on the scale. The result is an estimate, not a clinical reading.

Why track it

During weight change, lean mass shows whether you are keeping muscle, something total body weight alone cannot reveal.
