The exact method behind this answer

CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.

Lean body mass = body weight x (1 - body fat percentage). Fat mass = body weight - lean body mass.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Estimate only. Body composition tools can vary widely.

  • Body-fat percentage is assumed to be already estimated.
  • Hydration and measurement methods affect the result.
  • Not a medical diagnostic tool.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Use the same measurement method over time; trend consistency matters more than one decimal place.

Explain it like I'm 12

Lean Body Mass Calculator converts body weight and body-fat percentage into lean mass, fat mass and a lean-BMI cross-check.

Formula

Lean body mass = body weight x (1 - body fat percentage). Fat mass = body weight - lean body mass.

Worked example

80 kg at 22% body fat gives 62.4 kg lean mass and 17.6 kg fat mass.

Professional note

Use the same measurement method over time; trend consistency matters more than one decimal place.

Regional and unit assumptions

U.S. Navy circumference method converted from centimetres to inches.

Assumptions and limitations

Methodology & Accuracy

How this calculator is checked

CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Formula used

Lean body mass = body weight x (1 - body fat percentage). Fat mass = body weight - lean body mass.

Standard or basis

U.S. Navy circumference method converted from centimetres to inches.

Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.

Master's Tip

Use the same measurement method over time; trend consistency matters more than one decimal place.

Questions

Is the Navy method exact?

No. It is a field estimate and can differ from DEXA, hydrostatic weighing or clinical assessment.

Why do measurements matter so much?

Small differences in tape position can change the circumference inputs and therefore the estimate.

Calculation note

Lean mass separates the scale number into tissue categories that can be tracked alongside strength, training and nutrition.

Lean body mass needs assumptions beside the result

The calculator keeps the input values, formula trail and limitation note visible so the result can be checked later instead of treated as a magic number.

The printable record is part of the calculator

A useful result is one that can be compared with a statement, plan, workout log, timetable or worksheet after the page is closed.
