Question: Gained weight but my body fat percentage stayed the same what does this mean.?
well I gained 7 pounds in a 2 and 1/2 month period but apparently my body fat percentage has stayed the same what does this mean.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You gained an equal proportion of fat and muscle. Two examples (since you didn't provide your weight):

143 lbs and 10% fat: 14.3 lbs of fat, 128.7 lbs of lean body mass (organs & muscle)

150 lbs and 10% fat: 15 lbs of fat, 135 lbs of lean body mass.

I'd say you're doing well if youre trying to bulk up, putting far more muscle mass on than fat.Health Question & Answer
