I am a 32-year-old man. I just took a DEXA scan, and my fat mass went up 3 pounds while my lean mass went down 10. I have only moderately decreased calories and have been doing hypertrophy training for the past year, hoping to increase lean mass. What might be the cause of these changes, and how can I reverse them?
I went and got a DEXA scan (last one in February). I’ve only gained 1.2 lbs of muscle and 2 lbs of fat. My resting metabolic rate went down, which I thought would be getting better as I’ve been eating more.
