Skinny to Strong

How do you put on 20 lb of muscle and lose 5% body fat? The skinny guy journey to 140 lb weight and 7% body fat by the end of 2010.

The Graphs: December 2009

Here are the weight and fat graphs for December 2009.

Body Weight Graph

Since I reached my goal of 125 lbs for the end of december I tried to maintain the same weight while I tried to reduce the fat. So I started eating the right number of calories that I need. As can be seen from the graph I was maintaining my weight for a while but then it started dipping for no apparent reason. I increased my calories a bit and it stared going up quickly. It is quite hard to keep track of the exact amount of food to eat.

Body Fat % Graph

While I maintained the same weight I started to see an increase in body fat. I was not sure why that would be the case. Am I losing muscle so quickly? A small increase in weight causes the fat to shoot up quickly while a stable weight still increases it slowly. The only option left to loose fat is to loose weight? I don’t like the idea at all. I am also doubting the fat monitor. It tends read the fat changes a while after the weight has changed. So if I increase my weight today it will be a few days before I see the increase in fat. Same goes when I loose weight. I think it may have something to do with the way I store water in my body. Have to investigate.
