Right before the pandemic, I entered a body composition challenge that just ended. I lost ten lbs of fat and gained one lb of muscle. Another guy lost 6 lbs of fat and gained 4 lbs of muscle. You can't trust your scale. Go by the scale in addition to how you look, how your clothes fit, and your body measurements.
For better data, get a Dexa body scan.

- brewdad 6y agoTrue, but if my activity levels have dropped, I can be pretty sure my weight gain is almost entirely fat. Now that I've gotten back to being more active the past two weeks, I hope to see some results in the mirror before I worry too much about the number on the scale. In my case, the scale number will regularly fluctuate a few pounds just based on time of day or short-term variations in activity and diet.
