Cos'è Lean Body Mass Calculator?

▾

Lean Body Mass (LBM) is total body weight minus fat mass. It includes muscle, bone, organs, and water. Used in clinical dosing, fitness tracking, and metabolic rate estimation.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Formula

▾

f(x)LBM (kg) = Weight × (1 − body_fat%/100); LBM (men) = 1.1 × weight − 4.8 × height (simplified)

1LBM = Total weight × (1 − body fat fraction)
2Boer formula (men): LBM = 0.407×W + 0.267×H − 19.2
3Boer formula (women): LBM = 0.252×W + 0.473×H − 48.3
4James formula alternative: LBM(men) = 1.1×W − 128×(W/H)²

LBM Applications

▾

Use	Why LBM matters
Drug dosing	Many IV drugs dosed per kg LBM not total weight
Protein target	1.6–2.2g protein per kg LBM for muscle building
Basal metabolic rate	Katch-McArdle BMR based on LBM
Renal dosing	Aminoglycosides, vancomycin dosed on LBM

Domande frequenti

▾

What is lean body mass?

Everything except fat: muscle, bone, water, organs. More useful than total weight for athletic performance.

Why is LBM important?

Determines calories for maintenance, strength capacity, metabolic rate. Athletes focus on LBM, not total weight.

Can LBM increase without weight gain?

Yes—if muscle increases and fat decreases (same weight). Requires resistance training and good nutrition.
