Not gaining, measurements not going up, but look more muscular. Why?

derekisdman · 12-04-2003, 11:51 AM

When I look in the mirror I it seems like I look quite a bit more muscular than I did a few months ago. I've gained a little weight, but not much, my measurement have only gone up just a little. I don't believe my bf% has changed much either. What's going on?

I notice even a little increase, but when I start dropping water and bodyfat then of course I look better.

you are probably getting leaner, that is the most likely scenario. you did say your weight and measurements have gone up. look to that

Probably just getting leaner. I had a couple days where I didn't eat much, and I went from looking reasonably cut to well-cut, especially in the abs. (I'm not suggesting people shouldn't eat, cause you should.)

While it has been established that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet been proven conclusively that they actually raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human blood stream.
