Does Body Fat Percentage Increase with
Weight Gain?
Yes, generally speaking, body fat percent
does increase as we gain weight.
Although muscular athletes or weight-lifting
enthusiasts may decrease their body fat percentage when they gain weight,
(because their gain in weight is from adding extra muscle to their body),
for most of us weight-gain means fat-gain. Our body fat percentage rises
while our lean tissue or muscle remains fairly constant. So for most people,
their body fat percentage increases with every pound of weight gained.
