It's been a weird month. A huge calorie surplus. Gaining a lot around the waist, but not at all around the shoulders or biceps. Here's the body measurements graph. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5qxiloh0py...ntil-today.jpg
The main suspect is fried eggs. I rarely eat them, but this month I've had 66 fried eggs. I put some 3.5 tablespoons of olive oil on the frying pan and fry the eggs, and although much of the oil stays on the pan after I'm done some gets fried into the eggs. I've been lazy about double checking nutritional values for foods I rarely eat, fried eggs being one of them, so I just went with the suggested 86 kcal per egg in MyFitnessPal ("Aladdin Fried Eggs"). Something tells me that's way too low. But how high could it be?
Then we're left with minor suspects.
• The previous month I gained muscle but my waist measurement went down (!), so I upped my kcal goal. Making this month's eating goal 150 kcal more than before (an extra of 4350 kcal total for the month).
• This month I've eaten somewhat (with emphasis on somewhat) fewer and thus larger meals. So theoretically that would mean the body would get lots of nutrition it needs to do something with, either gain muscle or fat, and it could be fewer meals has turned more of it into fat. But I doubt this is the case. I think my biggest meal besides dinner has been some 700 kcal, and that has only been on a couple of occasions this month. And I've eated throughout the day on almost all days.
• It could also be that I've moved around less this month than the previous, but I don't think it's been much of a difference, as I track all outdoor activities and add extra calories for them accordingly.
The weird thing is that although I've progressed on all the seven exercises I do, especially the military press, the shoulders aren't wider, and the biceps aren't larger. Though on months with little progress those muscles have grown quite a lot in size.
• And, I don't track the dinner, I just guesstimate it to be around seven hundred kcal. And instead of the broccoli I usually eat, I've had some five or ten dinners with salad covered in vegetable oil this month. I guess 150 kcal extra per dinner, of those dinners, could be a reasonable estimate.
• There's been two social events where I've just subtracted whatever I thought I ate from the daily kcal goal. I think I was pretty much on on both of them. So I hardly think that could've amounted to much of an increase in calories.
