I'm currently dieting and losing weight and body fat nicely, once I get to my goal I will be looking to build more muscle. Just now I do three days of cardio and two days of weights. I'm new to all this so I was just wondering if anyone knows once I've got to my goal how much of a calorific surplus I should be on .. What types of things I should be eating while doing this and building muscle. How often to lift and do cardio? Remember I'm new to all of this so don't be too harsh folks!

I'd add that if your cardio is part of a sport/activity that you're not going to be stopping, then you'll need to factor that activity into your estimations of how much you need to eat to be in a surplus.

I'll add that, form experience, 16-17% is even better because you'll start to feel really squishy and fat really fast! Keep doing what you're doing for now0 -
Another question is what's the best things to eat after a cardio workout? Some people are saying carbs some people are saying avoid carbs. I like a slice of toast and scrambled egg but I don't know if this is any good?0
