Reply to comment by One_Idea_239 in [OC] A year of trying to reach 78kg (172lbs). I'm 25 years old, male and 188cm tall (6'2). More info in the comments by leovolpe
First af all, my body fat was always low so increasing it few % points actually looks good on me.
Second, to gain muscles (which was my primary goal) ideally you have to be in a caloric surplus, which will inevitably lead to fat gain.
Third, I think my scale has an algorithm like more weight-->fat gain. You can see this from the extremely good correlation between the fat graph and the weight graph. And also, when I got covid I lost like 2-3kg in 2 days which was mainly a water loss, but the scale thought that it was a fat loss, which would be impossible given the short period of time. So I think I actually gained less fat than what the scale is showing.

Fair enough, everything seemed pretty closely correlated so that's why i asked. Interesting data
