Can sore muscles equate to weight gain?

Fat loss is not an immediate gratification sort of thing. Progress is measured in weeks and months, not daily. Water fluctuations, as you have noted from increasing exercise, will mask your fat loss. You may get more satisfaction from following a trend line rather than the daily fluctuations.

staying under 1200 calories and working out hard will cause more weight gain than weight loss because you are not eating enough calories to support your calorie loss it will also make your muscles sore and take longer for the lactic acid to leave out causing you to retain water.

fully disagree, i do like 1200 calories a day (and been this way for like 4 months), i lift for 2 hours a day, do atleast 60 min of cardio a day, and i'm certainly not gaining any weight as a result.

if your muscles are sore (i do plyometrics every day) ingest protein within 30 minutes afterwards, it will fuel muscle recovery. (so a protein shake/protein bar/or some sort of food that provides 20g or so of protein).

A man eating 1200 calories a day for over 4 months, working out 3 hours a day.

Food does not provide muscle recovery? Meal timing or protein intake timing? NO

What am i missing here folks?
