Frequently Asked Questions

LBM vs scale weight?

Scale weight mixes fat, muscle, water, and food; LBM isolates fat-free mass. The tool averages Boer and James estimates and derives a body-fat % from the gap: defaults (male, 80 kg, 180 cm) give Boer 61.4, James 62.7, average ≈62.1 kg with ~22% estimated fat.

How to measure body fat?

DEXA gold standard; calipers and smart scales estimate within a few points. Consistent method matters more than absolute accuracy for trends.

Protein from LBM?

1.6–2.2g per kg of lean mass for muscle goals — LBM-based targets beat bodyweight rules for lean and heavy alike.

Is body data uploaded?

No — math runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
