Just wanna point out that organic really doesn't mean any healthier. Organic and non-organic foods have the same nutritional makeup - just non-organic uses pesticides that have been safety approved and organic uses more 'natural' but often more dangerous and untested pesticides.
As for where you gain weight, as others have said, it's hard to actually choose. Since about 75% of what you gain will be fat, you cannot choose where it goes. That's down to genetics. The rest - the muscle - goes on whatever muscles you work the most. Get those squats in! Good luck0 -

I'm eating healthy and clean and have always stayed in surplus which is why I'm gaining 1.5 - 2 ibs a week. I think that while it is hard for some, even me at times, to eat healthy and get those calories doesn't mean it can't be done.

So far I have been gaining exactly where I want the most, probably because of all the squats I do. I also gain some in my tummy, which I think I'm just going to cut after I reach my goal.

You know I read about that somewhere, that I should gain .05 - 1 ib
But.. I gained overall 8 ibs in one month and I am not at all fat. While doing squats with eating 2700+ calories a day I gained mainly in my thighs very little in my butt and some in my tummy.
Sooo idk maybe my body is different lol. what I can say for sure is that I am loving the results with the minor setback of the muffin top. Which, like I mentioned before, I think I will continue to gain at this pace since I am also doing abs and start cutting after I reach my goal.0 -

8 lbs, depending on where, may not have an impact. But yea, that is a fast rate, especially considering you arent progressive lifting.
In all reality the first several lbs of that is probably glycogen and additional food in your gi system. And that is probably why its not overly noticeable.0
