Slightly confused by my scales at the moment.
was a smidge over 109kg all of last week and between 22.1 and 22.7 BF%, then I did a 50k ultramarathon on saturday, spending 8.5 hours on my feet so pretty massive energy expenditure, but I kept well hydrated and while I didn't run a calorie deficit in the days before I also didn't overeat by thousands and thousands of calories before or after the race either.
I was down to 108.2kg (22.7 BF%) on sunday, the morning after the race but this week I'm back up to 110.8kg but my BF% has dropped to 21%.
i'm guessing its glycogen/water storage. but not sure how that would be represented in the BF% i'm seeing.
