PSMF Day 5 Stats: 

Weight: 211.8
Fat Percentage: 26.2

I’m not sure how I feel about this yet…

I mean its completely reasonable that your body wouldn’t drop super noticibly daily. I get that. I also messed up a bit yesterday by intaking way too much sodium (I hadn’t gotten a chance to get home for a protein shake and ate packaged turkey which had 650 mg’s of sodium per serving. I, having had 200 calories for the day ate the entire package of 4 servings. 10 grams of protein per serving AND only 60 cals per serving) so I’m aware I could have a little water weight on me. It would be completely unfare since I did nothing but flonkin DRINK WATER all day, but I did end my water day with a sodium turkey splurge.

But according the stupid body fat thingy on the scale, I went down in my fat percentage. How is that POSSIBLE? It gave me a 26.2 reading I just did the calculations with the exact numbers (more decimals and crap) and according to THAT, I lost 1.48 ponds of FAT. But The scale didn’t move. I checked multiple times. So I somehow gained 1.48 pounds of muscle? On about 500 calories yesterday?  WTF?

All sorts of things aren’t adding up. Did i mention I walked around, I dunno, 8 miles yesterday? Decided I should get a little exercise in. I also didn’t take well to the turkey (or so my stomach gurgling told me) and lets say after walking that 8 miles my body evacuated all that turkey out of a rear exit soon as I arrived home. I was sure THAT, plus the sweating while walking would have to mess wtih my water. I was trying to replace any fluids lost but I was tired and on 500 calories at the time so I might’ve not been thinking straight.

Seriously. I don’t understand this.

Do I use weights? Yes. I’m trying to keep as much muscle mass as possible, but I was not trying to gain anything because, well, theoretically its impossible. Lean muscle mass gains on severly limited calories are not supposed to happen. So agian I say, WTF?

Okay. I’m going to stop obsessing over what just MIGHT be a fluke on the scale. It doesn’t make sense to me and I assume in a day or 5  I’ll understand what’s going on. Until then I’ll just stare at hese stats googling the shit out of various terms in hopes of explaining it.

Day 5. No one has been cut. Except my pinky toes. Walking 8 miles in bad shoes? Not so good for them.

Really, really, really want a burger with cheese though. Some bacon too. Who knew I’d dream of my low carb diet after a few days on this confounded PSMF?
