Wow, in two years of training, i've never experienced anything like this. Check it out, on the 29th of January i was a few weeks into my cutting phase, and at 10.5%. I've gradually reduced my calories from 2800 to 2000 over those two weeks, and was now where i wanted to be. I started doing cardio, HIIT three times a week, and my 5th session will be today. So in 9 days, i've gained 5lbs. And my body fat went up to 11.7%. How the hell is it even possible? My calories are lower than they were before AND i'm doing cardio! I was losing fat before, and instead of continuing to lose more, started gaining some! I'm lost!

Maybe Starvation mode or maybe .... Just maybe ....... You lost water?
Water reads the same as LBM, anything in the body that isn't fat reads as LBM, if you lose alot of water (for example starting a cut) you will lose "LBM" since its water.
Or maybe you just went a little crazy on calories who knows
