Lean Body Mass

WDEvy

I take monthly measurements for progress and keep tabs on my (estimated) body fat % and LBM with the fat2fit military body fat calculator.

For the last 8 months my body fat has steadily go down 0.8-1.5% monthly ( I started with a VERY high bf%) and my LBM has been staying within the same half poud as well, this is until today. When I put in my numbers in the calculator today, my bf% when down 1.2% but my LBM went up 1.8 lbs. Is that even possible while eating at a deficit? Is the calculator wonky?

Edit because I'm spelling challenged.

Yes, it is possible for newbie strength trainers...
