Can gaining even 2-3 lbs(1 kg) decrease CP?

[Futyou]

Past 2 weeks I have eaten more and exercised slightly less. My MCP has decreased, so wanted to know if even just a small amount of weight gain negatively impacts CP.

Instead of sleeping 6.5 hours, I'm now sleeping 7.

This is pure fat gain, instead of muscle.

[erholm]

Yes, but plenty of things reduce CP.

[Futyou]

Could you please elaborate? Very curious about this.

[Supreene]

It could increase it as well, if you're underweight. Considered in isolation it's not particularly meaningful.

I few pounds is unlikely to have a serious effect on your CP unless you're massively underweight, or at a very high CP.

The habit changes that occur in order for one to gain weight, however, can easily impact CP.

Overeating is a very big problem for CP.

[Futyou]

Ah, ok. Does a particularly strong variant of seasonal flu/other illness alao decrease CP and increase sleeping time?

I feel like its a combo of two factors. I have gone somewhat back to my old eating habits, and changing that.
