I feel like I'm stuffing myself all the time and hate how I cannot enjoy food anymore. I need to gain weight from a medical standpoint due to losing…

Can I gain muscle without gaining weight?
I'm at 110 pounds and my ultimate goal weight is 105. I just started 30 Day Shred and I'm going to actively try to gain muscle. However, I still want to get down to 105. Is it possible or am I going to see scale increases because muscle weighs more than fat? Btw, I'm 5'2" and I usually eat ~1300 on average. I haven't eaten…

Former skinny guy syndrome
I was reading about the former fat guy syndrome. I have it. But I was never fat. I've always been thin, and for the last few years I was pretty skinny with both low bodyfat and muscle. Now after about 8 weeks of eating more, I've gained about 4 lbs, which is a good, pretty clean rate. Lifts are going up at a rapid pace, I…
