Unlike BMI, your Lean Body Mass and Body Fat percentage tells you how many pounds of your body are made up of lean tissue and how many pounds are made up of fat. Lean body mass is simply an estimation of how much you weigh without the body fat – how much your bones, organs and muscles weigh. As the other factors are assumed to be relatively static, by monitoring your LBM you can get a fairly accurate estimate of the amount of muscle you are gaining or losing. Your goal is to lose fat and gain muscle. Your LBM can give you an accurate picture of where your training is taking you.
