How do I calculate lean muscle mass? This is so I can set my protein consumption correctly on here. Thanks.

    find your body fat %. then subtract it to your weight.

    Example:

    100 lb
    10% body fat = 10 lb fat

    lean muscle = 90 lb

    For the purposes of the OP's question, LBM calculations are pretty standard. The question was phrased a little wrong...you know what he meant.
