Working out and gaining weight
I've been working out for a little over a month and the first week I initially lost 6 pounds. I recently stepped on the scale and gained all that weight back plus 4 pounds! I've been sticking to my diet. Lifting 3 x a week and cardio 6x a week. Has anyone else experience this?

would a 200 calorie mistake gain weight over night?
Would having an extra 200 hundred calories gain weight over night if it didn't turn repetitive and only happened once in a blue moon like never. Like how easy is weight gain? Because I'm scared if i go like 50 calories over my maintenance goal once i will suddenly gain weight over night

Why is bulking such a big secret to the general population?
I want to preface this by saying that since doing things correctly, I've been very successful at adding muscle. It's slow, of course. I mean you can't gain muscle at the rate you can gain fat, but it's still possible, and this is a big deal. Here's why... I never had success building muscle until I started counting…

Late nite calorie catch-up
Ok - so I'm trying to gain a few pounds of muscle while maintaining or losing body fat. Let's say that I'm short 400-600 calories at the end of the day, and I'm supposed to sleep in an hour, 30 minutes, whatever. Do I eat to make up the calorie deficit and hit my macros? Someone told me I'm not supposed to eat within 2…

Is it possible to increase muscle without increasing fat?
I'm 6'2" and if my home scale is to be believed, I'm 176lbs at about 11.5% body fat. (I totally think I'm closer to 18% or the entirety of my fat is centered on my tummy.) I'd like to get more muscle on me, hopefully to move me faster and more powerfully (sports related). I don't want to get fatter - in fact, I'd like to…

GOMAD vs. CONAD
CONAD - cup of nuts per day. I'm trying to gain and it's just really hard. I don't do dairy or meat. Maybe 1/2 c nuts/day (or equivalent)? Should I make this a mandatory part of my day or is it too many nuts? I don't care much about macros except hitting my protein goals (which I always do). I'm not into bodybuilding. I'm…

Debunking the Myth
I am finally ready after 2 years of experimention to firmly say that the prevailing concept that a caloric surplus is necessary to build muscle is untrue.
