Excellent point. 10 years ago I started long distance cycling and I was very disappointed to see that I had dropped weight but then gained FIVE pounds over two months! I was literally distraught over this, I was eating right and cycling 200+ miles/week, yet there it was.

Muscle mass - more dense than fat!
