Hi everyone, I’m 20, male, 6’3”, and 287 pounds at the moment. The concern I’m having right now is that two weeks ago, I was 288 pounds, and I measure at the same time and same day of the week. In two weeks, I lost only one pound, but on average I’ve been eating 1500 calories per day in the past week and doing pretty vigorous exercise every day, 30-40 minutes of strength training followed by 30-40 minutes of cardio. I have been gaining muscle, visibly, and I have definitely gotten stronger, as well as my cardio health improving, being able to do higher intensity exercise with a much faster heart rate recovery. So I know I’ve gained muscle, but I just don’t think I’ve gained so much that it would basically conceal fat loss on the scale. I know it’s inaccurate, but according to my Apple Watch, I actively burn more calories that I consume daily, and my total calories are more than double what I consume. I started last week at 288 pounds, and consumed 10,476 calories in the entire week, yet when I measured this morning it was 287.4. I have noticed some visible fat loss, but I have no idea how much in terms of weight because I’m also building muscle. 3 weeks ago I went from 297 to 288 and it’s basically been stuck there. What can I do? Is there any way to measure fat loss vs overall muscle loss?
