It is VERY, VERY unlikely (read impossible) that you're measuring your body fat accurately. Even if you were at 4% BF (which you weren't), that would be an increase of more than 6 lbs of pure body fat in three days (132*.04= 5.28 lbs of fat to 139*.082=11.4 lbs of fat).Originally Posted by jacobibanez
It's much more likely that you just retained more water along with some actual weight gain. Your body fat levels, whatever they actually are, probably didn't change much.

You're not accurately measuring body fat. 4% is beyond sustainable and not healthy. The only somewhat accurate means of measuring body fat is hydrostatic weighing, Bod Pods, and DEXA scans.
Supplement a good diet: don't diet on supplements.

oh thank you. Guessing i can’t depend on machines anymore. So it’s pretty much impossible to gain that much BF in 4 days?

First off, you weren't sub 5% body Fat. Secondly, you don't accrue body fat that fast.Originally Posted by jacobibanez
