Just downloaded this app and joined today. I have been working out on and off in the last year.. Started again 4 weeks back.. Generally do weights 4 days 2 days cardio.. I am gaining strength and weight but also the midsection :/.. Would a fat burning supplement be a good option... Whey protein is the supplement I take everday..Sometimes C4 pre workout..

    You can't really target weight loss... You lose weight in the order you put it on. If you gained belly fat and then gained weight somewhere else the belly fat will be the last to go. Just keep at it. Do cardio and core exercises to strength your muscles in your stomach, that way when you do use the belly fat youll have some muscle to show off. Good luck

    I downloaded and joined this app a few months ago, and it has been an excellent tool. Keep an eye on your fatty carbs. Avoid sweets and fatty foods. Some fat is good, alot of energy stored in fat. I also take C4 pre and a mass gainer called serious mass if I fall short on calories for the day. Keep up with the cardio. I'm bad about cardio and i have a little fat belt I'm trying to lose as well. Cardio cardio. More fruit and veggies

    That^^^^

    What's your TDEE?
    How many calories are you eating?
    What are your macros in grams?

    What is TDEE?

    I consume between 2800-3200 calories.. According to this app..

    Does this app calculate how much calories I burn during weight training? That has been more of my focus than cardio.. I some times skip cardio days :/.. I am doing my best to keep myself motivated not to do that in the future..

    It makes sense but it can't really be done, sorry. (Obviously there are exceptions but us mere mortals who've been training for a while need to settle for one or the other).

    Either continue at surplus and accept the fat gains that come with it or eat at deficit (or slowly recomp at maintenance) to lose the fat.

    I'd definitely avoid the fat burners, all you'll lose there is money.
