LBM = just muscles doesn't it?
So 190 lbs - (.22 * 190) = 148.2
But, much of that is bone, organ, blood, other tissue.
can someone help - how do I work out LBM. For instance, I've been told that at 190lbs and 22% bodyfat, I've been told that my lean body mass is 147lbs but don't know how this figure came about.
Help!

What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

I love vegetarians, they're a great source of lean protien!
LBM is everything but fat pretty much. You calculations are correct...Originally Posted by KarlW
The formula is:
Total body weight x % fat = fat weight.
Total body weight - fat weight = lean body mass
