Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lean body mass actually refers to the weight of your body minus all the weight due to your fat mass, including both 'essential' and 'storage' fat. Essential fat is necessary for normal physiological functions and is found in the central nervous system, bone marrow, and organs, but it is not defined by a non-sex-specific percentage of body mass in the context of lean body mass calculations.
