Can this be right?

Three and a half weeks ago: 238, 16% bf
Today: 227, 16.4% bf

that would me I lost about 10 lbs. of muscle, but less than 1 pound of fat?!!

I've been training 3 days a week and doing cardio 3 days a week. I am eating a very clean diet -- rice, tuna, eggs, oatmeal, milk, protien shakes.

What gives?

oh, and I'm taking an ECA stack, and a multivitamin daily, but nothign else.

 

[MrMuscle]

where and how did you take these bf measurments?

 

[latona]

I tried using a calipers, but I'm not sure I know what I'm doing, and I also used a Tanita scale.

Calipers and Tanitas are all fucked up latona, don't go by them.

 

[MrMuscle]

I've heard that, too, but I'm not sure what else to use.

sorry, didn't see your post! I forgot to mention that I have been using measurements, too. My arms were 18.25" and are not 17.75", so I lost a half inch there. My waist is probably an inch or two smaller, too. I know I will be losing muscle on a diet since I am not on anything, but I feel like I am losing too much too quickly.

I personally think he looks more cut, but he won't listen to me.
I wish the air chambers or water displacement tests were 1) cheaper, and 2) easier to find.

Cut your carbs and up your protien, that will help abate any muscle atrophy.
