[QUOTE="FeelingLost, post: 95745, member: 15131"] I have read here on the forum you need to eat a surplus of about 500 calories over your recommended caloric intake based on your weight. For me that is 1850 + 500 = 2350 I have been doing this and stepping up my workouts at the gym for about 4 weeks and I am seeing my layer of fat increase. Basicly my fat is growing faster than my muscles and it is not just in my belly but over all body fat. At what point do you stop the excess calories to lose the fat? Also am I doing something wrong here are you suppost to be putting on fat during this process? I am getting the extra calories by adding 3 egg whites 1 yoke(234) 1 whole avocado (235) My main diet is 40% protein(steak, chicken breast, cod) 35% good fats(avocado, nuts, olive oil, smoked salmon) 20% carbs(salids all raw veggies) no starch like potatos 5% sugar( from fruit bananas, pears, grapefruit) The only sugars I eat are what is naturally in the foods no added sugar. Disclaimer: I have never been a bodybuilder or joined a gym until now just very active outdoors, mtn biking, hiking, climbing in the Rockies. So I am a complete noob when it comes to weight lifting. Using youtube I have learned most of the exersizes and I follow several weightlifting coaches that do weekly YT posts. I pick all my exersizes from them. I don't follow anyones complete program. I have also learned the names for all the major muscle groups. So now you kind of know my lvl of expertise it not very much. [/QUOTE]
