Tenderloin-
Ah right - my bad, i'm still trying to get my head round where all the numbers are coming from!
Think i'll only really be keeping an eye on weight / fat % - if I make an effort I should be losing fat far quicker that i'd ever put on muscle, even when I start training more again, so both should hopefully start going down.
@ChainBreaker - yeah, this is quite interesting if you can access it https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10693914/
BMI was originally established in the 19th century by a statistician and rebranded in the 21st century by a physiologist for capitalist and research benefits [1,2]. Neither of these individuals were medical professionals.

That's BMI (body mass index) - Basal Metabolic Rate - the amount of daily energy needed to sustain the given mass at the specified composition (I think - i'm just entering the rabbit hole with this stuff)
