A member asked:

How do i calculate my lean body weight i am 45 male 191 cm 100.8 kg i weight train fairly intense 3-4 times wk cardio 2 times i need body fat% also ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

measure % body fat: Your height and weight can give you your bmi (body mass index), but to know your lean body mass you need to know your % body fat. You can measure it by calipers (cheapest), impedence device (~$50), or water immersion testing (expensive). You lean body wt is your total wt minus your fat wt.
