hmmmph so the numbers on the scale this morning were a little confusing. my weight is down by a couple hundred grams nothing major but my BF% has increased by 6%!!!! ok so i know my food choices over the weekend have bnot been ideal and the carb and fat portion have been waaaaaaaaaaay too high but i've still been in calorie deficite? so have i just turned any muscle i had been working on into fat? is it just water? or a wierd reading? or have i really put on 6% BF? i mean thats equivalent to 3.5 kg of pure fat!!!! :0(

Consumer reports did a study on those scales and concluded they are all inaccurate. They can give you an estimate to help guide you, but I wouldn't rely on the information too heavily. Measuring actual body fat is not easy and no one is sure what is the most accurate way (calipers, hydrostatic weighing, etc.) It also takes a lot of hard work and time to gain an actual pound of muscle. When you see the scale shift a lot, it tends to be water. When we lose weight, we are actually losing fat, water and some muscle (which is why protein is so important, it impedes muscle loss). Our bodies physiology is very strange and weight loss changes our bodies composition constantly. I don't know if there are any easy answers.
