As someone who regularly fasts for a variety of reasons, I would agree -- it's nearly impossible to gain muscle while fasting anyway, and without working out in any way I can't imagine how that could happen at all.

But most likely the tool is measuring inaccurately.

Fasting may not affect muscle gain during the fast, but it may during the following refeed.

I'm sure that's possible -- I've never experienced it. Perhaps if I were more disciplined about recovery.
