Hi everyone,

Just asking whether this is normal. I've just begin to cut fats on 17th August. After a week which is today 25th August. I noticed that my weight had not been reducing. However, my body fats % are decreasing.

Here are my info

Age: 22 , 67kg, 167cm

TDEE - 2353 Cals from http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

Cutting - 1853 Cals (40%Protein, 30%Fats, 30%Carbs) [Diet Tracked using MyFitnessPal]

Exercise: 4-5 Times a week (Includes Weight Training and 20mins Cardio per session)

Weight Measurements
17th Aug - 67kg
19th Aug - 66.5kg
21st Aug - 66.6kg
23rd Aug - 66.6kg
25th Aug - 67kg

Body Fat measurements (Using machine although it is claimed to be not accurate but that's the only thing I have currently)
*Measurement are taken 3 times in order to get an average
17th Aug - 16.5%
19th Aug - 16.2%
23rd Aug - 16.0%
25th Aug - 15.7%


***All measurements are taken right after I woke up in the morning

Therefore, as you can see, my weight does not varies much but my body fats are decreasing. Is this normal?

Hope sifus here could give some advice. Thanks

You're the same age and weight as me but im 170cm.

Am no expert in this but isn't 1 week too short to notice for progress?
Give urself some time

Icic , is this normal where bodyfat % are decreasing while the weight still maintains?


Yea probably a bit too short for it but just wanted to ask whether its normal as I can see that bodyfat % are decreasing but not my weight.

ignoring ur calculations, generally same weight but reduce fat % means u dropped in fat level but increased muscle mass

You're going thru body composition where as you're losing bodyfat while maintaining weight. So it's normal. Mirror is ur best fren

you reduce fat but build mass... meaning muscles. it's normal. muscle is denser than fat. your pants should feel looser now.

Takes time for your body. 1 week is just to little to see any drop in weight n bf%

this

a lean muscular guy can weight the same as a much bigger wobbly fatso of the same height.
