is it normal to get the food-noise thing at week 20
Quick one. Canada here. resistance training works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US. Specifics: the route I used took 10 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse…
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with lean mass, not with what you concluded.
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
How many weeks between the two measurements?

Adding to this: DEXA is doing more work than the comment implies.
Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
Not to be pedantic but protein and resistance training are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Disagree.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 90 weeks to accept.
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
rapid loss plus no protein equals muscle loss
