Hey Team

Had my final weigh in with my Biggest Loser Competition today!

$1000 on the line with these results.

Can anyone help me work out the fat and muscle from this attached picture of my progress so far?

I will not get the results until after the weekend but I am too challenged to figure out what the math is behind getting the highlighted numbers :neutral:

It scares me a lot that my RX and XC have risen so high! The only difference in my weigh in is that my others I was fasted and had no water or food prior, and today I had a tonne of water and a little breakfast. The weigh in was 4 hours after breakfast.

I just do not want this to read as fat mass :neutral:

Any help would be greatly appreciated :smile:

    The highlighted line is % body fat. Just above it is kg (mass) body fat. So on 11/30, you weighed 82.5 kg, you had 35.5 kg of body fat, so 35.5/82.5 * 100 = 43.030303 . . . (Which rounds to 43.03%)

    Also, if any reading is saying you're gaining muscle while on a deficit, I'd be leery. It's difficult to gain muscle on a deficit, even by the best trained people who are nutritionally sound in their diet.
    How are you being measured for muscle and fat mass?

    The muscle and fat mass is done by this bia analysis. I know there is alot of discrepancies in this method of testing but that's ok I'm only starting out with this journey. I'm ok with any measurable results as long as I can see positive change ☺ I can visibly see muscle growth in my upper body and losses in my lower body so I'm cool with this ☺
