Well, it's really hard to gain LBM. I believe Lou said that if we can put on 1-2 lbs during the 6 mos of NROLW that would be a great success. I'd be thrilled to stay the same weight and lose fat OR gain weight and have it all be LBM. That wasn't the case for me. I gained weight on NROL....like 5 lbs in 2 months. Well, if a woman can put on 1/2 lb of LBM, I'm pretty sure I gained some fat in there!
I track my BF monthly with calipers, done by the same qualified person at the same time of day. Nothing is 100% accurate, but at least I can monitor trends. I also monitor monthly measurements. If my measurements in waist/stomach/hips, especially, go UP, I'm fairly certain I've gained some fat. If my weight stays the same, but my measurements are trending down, then I've put on some LBM.
