To clarify, I don't expect to gain muscle during cutting. I just want to prevent as much loss as possible. I focus on gaining as much muscle as I can in the fall/winter when I eat like a horse.
I use an Omron BF monitor to check my BF % once a week on Monday. The place I get my physicals turned me on to it. They said it was within .1% accurate of their body scan machine that cost thousands based on the patients they'd compared it on. Even if it's not exact as long as it's moving in the right direction I don't sweat it too bad. I set it to my height and weight and to "athlete" since I'm not typical couch potato.
