It is possible to get stronger without gaining weight, I have been getting stronger while losing weight.
as far as your arm measurement...maybe you had a good pump? Even if you are lean, you could have fat within/around your muscles and organs..so maybe you are replacing fat with muscle.

If results are favorable, why get so worked up about it? lol

You did the one day arm cure. Probably explains most of the 1/2 inch.

Not gaining weight, not eating enough food. Mutt is right.
