WEIGHT QUESTION

Does it make sense to be higher in weight, but lower in body fat %?

(Sorry for all the noob questions, I swear I just don't know these things and the internet is a good source for fast answers!)

Well if your weight is increasing and your body fat is decreasing, that can only mean you are gaining muscle...so you answer the question for yourself...is that a good thing??? I am guessing it is :)

The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn at rest.

thats the goal purextc!

OK thanks. I was just perplexed by my falling weight, then sudden increase, but I measured BF today and it was less than before.

I guess this is where the old saying, "muscle weighs more than fat" comes into play.

The scale is an evil beast. I don't pay much attention to the scale. It's better to keep track of bf% and all of the different body measurements to track progress.

The scale itself is not evil it is our interpretation of what the scale says thats the problem. I have no problem weighing in daily or weekly its the long term progress of the overall picture that one must look at not just weight. :)

The scale is ok but take pictures & get your measurements done so you can see what progress you have made.
