Subject: RE: BS: Diet/Math question...
Remember that muscle is heavier than fat, so when you build muscle, you could see the scale go up instead of down. That is one reason I don't agree with the BMI calculations... if you are muscular and fit, you can have a BMI that says you are overweight when weight/fat really isn't a problem. Using a tape measure and feeling how your clothes fit is a better way to measure progress.
