I was surprised today that I seem to have put on some extra fat. Obviously there are pathways for protein to fat and fat to fat, but one piece of advice from the subreddit where I started was

eat fatty meat until you don’t want more

I followed that, the other was for setting the fat percentage

Eat more fat if digestion is too slow (code for difficult pooing) eat less if it’s too fast (loose poo)

I should be eating less fat.

I think I’ll change my standard order from Scotch fillet (I think that’s rib eye fillet in American) to half Scotch fillet and half something lean

Or I could exercise a lot more. They say you can’t outrun a cheeseburger, you definitely can’t outrun the fat in a 2 inch Scotch fillet cooked to very very blue

Christmas and New year’s drinks may have also contributed either directly (is there a booze to fat pathway?) or by offsetting the food I need

    One more question - Did your total bodyweight go up, or stay the same?

    Are we just talking about the Tanita body fat % changing, and not your total weight?

      Weight went up, scale reports muscle stayed the same, fat went up, +4kg over the xmas period and the two months before. Still no problem with dangerous organ fat, my waist is about 5cm smaller than my hips.

      4kg isn’t a lot given I’m 188cm tall

        Ok, that makes sense.

        1.33kg a month, gotcha.

        Yeah my advice would be the same: Eat fatty meals, but don’t make the meal unless your hungry. If you have a scale at home you can do daily measurements to look at the trend line. If you have to drink alcohol switch over to the zero carb liquors.
