I gained 5 kilos in 2 weeks, my calories were under maintain calorie in the 2 weeks, worked out 11 days in 14 days, I don't know why I gained so much weight in 14 weeks :/ I know it's impossible to gain 5 kilos of muscle in 2 weeks but I I can feel my abs got bigger than before.

My protein intake is around 160-190g
My carbs around 280-340g
Fat around 45-60g with many good fat for example mono and poly around 6-9g
My calorie intake is around 2200-2500 each day ( my maintain is 2700)

I'm 180 cm I was 65 kilos when I started working out and using this app now I'm 70.8

    So I don't know what's going on my drunk body!

    I can see the parts around my stomach and chest got bigger.

    Ps: I'm working on each part of my body for each day ; for example, Sunday : chest Monday : tri and bi etc...
    And for each part I stay around 1 hour to 1 hour and a half.

    Am I gaining fat? Or muscles? Or water? Or what's going on lol

    You're retaining water in order to repair your muscles. The swelling is due to extra vascularity, also due to your workout.

    Is that good thing ?

    Technically yes. It's what helps repair muscles after a workout. Just keep doing what you're doing. And if it doesn't go away in a few weeks, reassess.

    It's a good thing because you didn't gain fat, but it's more just a statement of what happened. When you understand how your body works and adapts to stresses like working out (and realizing your body isn't drink), then the fluctuations in the scale won't scare you.
