Unless you have access to a gym or somebody with calipers or impedence machines, you'll have to use circumference measures!. You can use the navy standards found at the link below!.
You will need a tape measure and accurate weight and height!. Once you have %fat, subtract that from your total wt for lean body mass!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no absolute way but being weighed while suspended in water is the most accurate!. There are also medical imaging devices that work well!. Home machines that measure electrical impedance give a good indication but only for those with an average body: they are very inaccurate measuring people with a large muscle mass, endurance athletes or very obese!.
