Greetings,
I have been using this analyser over the course of my weight loss plan. Even when adhering to the guidelines set by the manufacturer (3 hours after a meal or exercise etc.) and measuring myself at the same time each day, the BF measurement is inconsistent. May I ask, would you be using BIA and would your results be more consistent?
I appreciate the input, man!

It was a combination of both, a previous model of this device here: Omron BF 511

Which is why I consider not one single measurement but rather the monthly trend. Nonetheless, the margin of error would be even bigger with fewer measurements.
> Secondly, there's no way you actually gained 2 kg (4 pounds) of muscle mass in a month. That's roughly double what anyone can achieve naturally (more realistic is <0.5 kg/month).
I agree. But since your estimate lies just within the confidence band of 1 σ, it would be no surprise to me if the growth would be around that. Time and more measurements will tell.
> The reality is you're probably gaining both proportionally as your weight goes up.
Probably. This hypothesis is entirely congruent with the data I currently have about myself. And this is precisely why a cut is scheduled for after Christmas.
> Also as an aside, you should be labelling your axes as muscle (kg) instead of muscle/kg. You see why the latter can be confusing.
No, I should not if I want to abide by the conventions of the Bureau International des Poids ed Mesures. Probably should have written it as mᵐᵘˢᶜˡᵉ/kg and respectively mᶠᵃᵗ/kg, though.
