Mind days of the week when comparing weight - Wednesday to Wednesday, Friday to Friday, etc.

Okay. I think I'll start weighing at the end of the week first thing in the morning (Friday). Maybe I'll get a more accurate number.

Since intramuscular glycogen and water count as LBM, it is possible to "gain" 2 lbs LBM a week. It's another story that it may well be gone by next week.

Okay... so that can happen, huh? I was just worried that I'd packed on fat.

No... I followed the parameters worksheet. The values I was given TOTALS to 3338 cals for day one, and 2336 on day 2. Does that sound okay? Again, these are a TOTAL of the calories for macronutrients for the given day.

Up the fat - more energy IF you're in ketosis, same fat loss IF you're in ketosis AND calories are not too high.

That's kind of what I thought. It takes me until Wednesday evening to be in ketosis again (is that unusually slow??)... but it's impossible not to up the calories beyond the suggested max by adding fat. It's so calorie dense.

I guess I could try that, but I'm just so worried that I'll get even more tired. I'm REALLY dragging butt today!
You know, I had pretty darn good results last week, and I messed up by increasing everything from day one to day five. I felt really good by Friday, and felt like I'd lost inches for sure. The protein and carbs stayed the same, and the only thing that went up was the fat and calories (because of the fat).
Very strange, huh?
Thanks West!!!! MUCH appreciated.
