2% BF lost in 1 week

amtbhatnagar

hello all ,
Hvae lost 2% BF in one week attaching my latest pic and stat for this week and last week .
My schedule which I am following since 6 months 5 days of empty stomach intense weight lifting and cardio for more than an hour .
Only thing I changed was not carb or 10% of carb in last 7 days
My query is for next step do I need to keep carb at this level and I am still not seeing body toned up do I need to do specific workout .

I highly doubt you lost 2% BF in one week. That's water weight and error margin in BF calculation is higher than 2%.
Keep up your good work though.

Cutting carbs reduces glycogen, which shows up at reductions to body fat %. Conversely, if you ever want to show huge muscle gains, you can carb load before a body pod test.

Looking at the photos I wouldn't put you at 11% body fat myself and you defo have lost 2% in 1 week but keep up the good work and you will get there

thanks for reply scale says 16% down from 18% , I find it difficult to believe that as well :-)

Assuming you are using a home hydrostatic scale to test body weight - they are generally considered fairly inaccurate

Losing 2% BF in a week is highly unlikely - it took me 4 months to lose 4%, lifting heavy and eating well (I'm focusing more on recomp)

recompe is eating at maintenance and losing BF while gaining lean muscle (doing a progressive heavy lifting program etc)

at best, I lose 1% for every 10#.

eat all the food seriously though, I take in avg 2700cal a day (high day is 2950ish and a lower day is 2500)

I was doing stronglifts a while back, but right now focusing more on cardio endurance for the end of the triathlon season - after that i'll go back to lifting heavy again (couldn't maintain it and fit in my 10-15hrs of other stuff during the week)
