She's going to invent scientific method, isn't she?
Anyway, by today's standards, her methods are bad. Like the previous comment said, there is no "break" to normalize body condition after each observation. Second, not enough test subject, so she couldn't prove that the result would be the same for significant number of people, therefore it is general. But hey, it is the first big step in magical science field and her findings would be proved by future researchers anyway and will serve as the foundation of magical science.

It would have been a requirement if she was attempting to understand a quantitative relationship, but simply for qualitative purposes it would be fine to just record the differences in weight.
A larger sample set would be useful for trying to understand the magnitude of the “magicaloric effect”, but because all people cast magic with the same method, you can take that Copernican assumption of being a typical observer to heart if you lack a reason to believe otherwise. Which maybe you have considering the reincarnation bullshit. More evidence that isekai makes every non-parody story worse.
Anyhow, she’s at least proved the effect is very likely to exist in at least one person, since the weight difference was implied to be significant.
Also how the hell is this roman isekai loli the closest thing to the scientific method in anything I’ve read or watched since Steins;Gate?

Magic: shoot Fireball from eyes.
Magic: shoot Earth Bullets from chest.
Magic: shoot Water Cannon from butt.
I think mana can be accumulated in different parts of the body.

I'm pretty sure it's trying to show she has gained a gut at the end of the third week, but it just looks like she suddenly has saggy breasts.
If you are looking for something with a good scientific method, I recommend D-genesis. I especially enjoyed when they were trying to figure out how to measure stats.

Maybe it's just me, but the fact that she actually lost weight after a week of exercise seem concerning?
From how she look before week 2 she barely has any excess fat, let alone with how young she currently is at the moment + she did lose weight from week 1, so if anything she should be gaining weight, because her overall muscle mass and core strength should be getting stronger and more flexible, even if it's a little.
Losing weight after exercising is only temporary since it's the calories that you've just burnt up for that day, if she actually got lighter than she was before the experiment even started then that uh...yeah

Well, I can see why she would want to measure her weight but honestly it's something that can change quite a bit, that can be gained in various weight (water weight, body fat, muscle mass) and then there's the fact that the body will adapt its metabolic rate to make it efficient for whatever you are usually doing. Others have mentioned the other issues.
I would have wondered about measuring the quantity of what she was producing with her spells (water and earth volume), how many spells she could fire before getting tired. The surprising thing to me was that she could cast magic repeatedly for an entire day for several days. My impression is that magicians don't use their magic all that often so the fact that when she does try to do it there's basically no limit to how often she can trigger her spells is pretty crazy. Then, there's apparently the fact that the exhaustion was building up over several days and it was only in the third day that she got headaches, and that these headaches came back on the next days as she used her magic. So I guess a magician only have about 3 day's worth of ability to use spells and then after resting for a day, they can use it for a day. (Again, we don't know if exercise can increase the capacity to use magic or the recovery rate.)
I wonder how much she's recorded of her diet; are there foods that are better for recovering magic?
Isn't it already known that gathering magic is best done at the tip of the fingers? If it's indeed possible to gather magic at other points of the body, I wonder if there is any application - after all, you can apparently make the magic circle appear at various places around the body.

i remember reading very similar kind of manga, theme wise. though the other one tried to invent magic in a seemingly magicless world.

She ate the same amount of food, so how could she gain weight on exercise week?Maybe it's just me, but the fact that she actually lost weight after a week of exercise seem concerning?

I get where you’re coming from, but I disagree. Even if it’s a qualitative trend that she is trying to understand, it’s necessary to minimize the influence of the previous variable that she tested. This is even more pertinent because she noticed an accumulation of fatigue from casting magic after a few days.
Even when she stopped pushing herself by the end of week one, she would have started week 2 while having the after effects from week one. This would muddles any conclusion she gained from week 2.
Of course, any objective, repeatable test of some kind is better than nothing.

Nah that would be too cliche. Let the MC actually uses their brain for once.
