lean muscle
Fat-free body mass
Lean muscle is muscle tissue as distinguished from fat—a fitness term rather than an anatomical one, since all muscle is technically "lean" (fat-free).
The phrase emphasizes building muscle without adding body fat: She's trying to gain lean muscle while cutting calories.
Often used in marketing for protein supplements and workout programs.
