Do I need more muscle or not????

I think part of EVERYONE'S struggle is the fact that we are told different things by "experts" and then we are told the exact opposite.

Don't eat eggs.
Eggs are great.

Don't eat fat.
You need fat.

Don't eat carbs.
You have to have carbs.

With all I have done the last five years, I consider myself a bit of an expert.  But this new one baffles me.  I have been trying very hard to build up muscle and the trainer here told me I have enough muscle.  I need to do more cardio.


Here at fat camp they use an InBody to weigh you and it gives you a print out of your fat/muscle ration on your body.  (Amongst other things.)  Here is EXACTLY what the detail reads:

"Considering your current body compostion, you could benefit by a decrease of 91.7 pounds of body fat and an increase of 0.01lbs of muscle mass."

It also tells me my BMR is 1602 calories.

So, do I trust what this readout says, or...do I keep concentrating on strength training back home?
I am really stumped by this one!!!!
