Argh, Newbie here!! Hope everyone is doing well!!
Anyways, I have been working out for about 9 months now with heavy lifting. A month ago I got a PT, and we had a fitness evaluation. My evaluation then said I was 135 lbs and 16% body fat. Today, however, my re-evaluation said I was 137 lbs and 20% body fat. I am not sure what happened. I haven't changed anything, and I stick to a 2100 calorie diet of clean food recommended by my trainer. I keep my cardio up to about 45 minutes four days a week and I lift six days a week. Is it possible to gain 4 percent body fat in a month? I figured I would be gaining muscle and losing body fat. I lost an inch on my hips and a half inch on my waist. This just doesn't make sense to me. Has anyone had experience with the BF% testers? It wasn't a calliper, it was one of the handheld ones that supposedly measures water in the muscles or something? Comments are appreciated! Thank you!
 
Hmmm

Do any tape measurements?

How do you feel and look to yourself in a mirror?


Did the same person take the BF measurements?
Could also be the person that took one or both measurements doesn't have a good hand at it.


A wild guess - the fat body measurement was not accurate - the weight gain is normal from gaining muscle and if you are physically smaller you're going in the right direction.

If you don't take tape measurement - start now.
