    If you gain muscle, your body fat % will go down (since more of your body will be composed of muscle rather than fat).

    How are you measuring it? And how tall are you?

    Almost all ways to measure body fat % are fairly inaccurate. If they used the calipers that's just a ball park figure. 4.2 and 8 are in the same ball park.

    i wouldnt be worried too much about it ghenie hit one of the nails right on the head, the other reason is b/c your still eating your metabolism is still very high so the weight loss process is still continuing.
