What is it?
LBM is everything in the body except fat (muscle, bones, water).
Calculate weight of everything except fat
Lean Body Mass (LBM) represents everything in your body except fat (muscles, bones, and water). It is a vital indicator of your metabolic strength and health. Tracking LBM instead of just total weight ensures that your fitness progress is focused on maintaining muscle while losing fat.
The higher your LBM, the higher your Resting Metabolic Rate (BMR). Maintaining lean body mass while losing weight is essential to prevent a 'skinny fat' appearance and helps you sustain your weight loss results permanently.
We utilize clinically proven equations using gender, weight, and height as primary variables (e.g., Men: 0.3281 x Weight + 0.33929 x Height - 29.5336) to obtain the most accurate non-fat body mass value.
Remember that LBM includes water weight and internal organs. If the body experiences increased Water Retention, LBM values may temporarily spike, which does not necessarily mean you have gained muscle tissue overnight.
LBM is your total weight minus fat mass. It represents muscle, bone, and organs, indicating metabolic strength.
To ensure you are losing fat, not muscle. Maintaining LBM keeps your metabolism high.
