[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1922969, member: 196898"] As a matter of interest how did you measure LBM? Was it TOBEC ot change of body fat percentage or by girth measurement? None of these methods seem to be selective, so only give a general body mass picture which is not quite an answer to the OP who wonders if muscle mass is scavenged locally or generally. If fasting leads to weight loss then this will primarily be glucogen and water from the muscle cells initially, and then from the adipose fat stores So initially the muscles will lose mass as water is excreted and glucose burnt off, so a drop in LBM is not unexpected. However as adipose fat is depleted then the body weight will drop too, and will appear as LBM increasing I think the BF scales that measure electrical conduction really measure fat stored in muscles, and are not so affected by adipose tissue fat loss - that needs an MRI scanner to measure adipose fat (as used by ND study) [/QUOTE]
