I was having trouble believing the fat numbers using my omron fat monitor, so I analyzed my numbers using the measurements taken with the body fat calipers. There is a world of difference. These numbers are more believable. Makes me think if I should just stop checking fat % using omoron body fat analyzer. It will be an expensive body weight scale then.
I take fat caliper measurements every weekend only. As a result I cannot show the pretty graphs that I usually have in my posts because there will only be 4 data points per month. Anyway here are the numbers again but with body fat calipers.

Change in 3 months
- Weight: 7.49 lbs
- Fat %: 2.86%
- Fat: 4.26 lbs
- Lean Mass: 3.23 lbs
Those are much better numbers. When I set the goals I wanted to gain 3.75 lbs of muscle while limiting the fat gain to 3.25 lbs. I came close to that goal. I gained about 3.23 lbs of muscle and 4.26 lbs of fat. In retrospect I should have been careful with my fat gain, but overall I did good. Not as bad as my previous analysis led me to believe
