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!
