Minimum Lean Body Mass Values?
Are there minimum lean body mass values for men/women of different heights/builds. I know a healthy body fat percentage is important, but what happens if someone is very underweight due to muscle/bone loss and so their body fat levels still appear normal. There has to be some kind of minimum healthy lean mass value right?

- Not according to lean body mass. But I think you are looking for a Body mass index. Dont trust alot of stuff that ends in a .com look more for .gov .edu try this site: http://www.consumer.gov/weightloss/bmi.htm
