The best way is to go to a doctors or a gym and have them do a caliper test. Basicaly you take your fat %, figure out how many pounds of fat that makes, then subtract that from your overall weight to get lean.
For poor folks like me, I use the zone's body fat calulator. It's also nice because it gives a recomended amount of protien.

It might not be perfect, but it gets close to other body fat tests I have done so I like using it. Plus the most important thing which ever test you choose is to use that one consistantly to be sure your body fat % is going down, not just weight. You want to lose fat, not muscle or bone
The last time I did my measurments and checked the zone thing, it said my lean mass has gone up to 109 pounds. That is about what the height weight charts say is a good overall weight for me :P My tania (sp) scale says 107.86, so close. I'm almost scared to go back to weight lifting, but I know I will because I love the strength, sleek look and muscle tone I get from it
