Boer Formula (1984)

Male Formula

LBM = 0.407 Γ— weight(kg) + 0.267 Γ— height(cm) βˆ’ 19.2

Female Formula

LBM = 0.252 Γ— weight(kg) + 0.473 Γ— height(cm) βˆ’ 48.3

Lean Body Mass Calculator

Lean Body Mass (LBM) represents the total weight of your body minus fat mass β€” including muscles, bones, organs, and water. Knowing your LBM is essential for setting accurate nutrition goals, tracking body composition changes, and understanding your baseline metabolic needs.

This calculator uses the Boer formula (1984), which estimates lean body mass from weight, height, and sex. It also computes your body fat mass and body fat percentage, giving you a complete picture of your body composition.

How it works

Boer Formula β€” Male: LBM = 0.407 Γ— weight(kg) + 0.267 Γ— height(cm) βˆ’ 19.2. Female: LBM = 0.252 Γ— weight(kg) + 0.473 Γ— height(cm) βˆ’ 48.3. Fat Mass = Total Weight βˆ’ LBM.

Use cases

  • Setting protein intake targets based on lean mass
  • Tracking body recomposition progress over time
  • Estimating resting metabolic rate more accurately than weight alone
  • Guiding strength training and nutrition planning
