BEEN LIFTING WEIGHTS FOR 2 WEEKS, I'M ON A CALORIE DIET OF 1500, 1300 FOOD, 200 DRINKS.
HOWEVER IVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS TOO LOW IF I WANT TO GAIN MUSCLE MASS(WHICH I WANT TO DO) HOWEVER IF I INCREASE MY CALORIES TO SAY 2500, I WILL PROBABLY JUST GAIN FAT OR WILL I?
I NEED SOME ADVICE OFF ANYONE.
HOW MANY CALORIES DO I NEED TO HAVE SO I 1) DON'T GAIN FAT AND 2) GAIN JUST MUSCLE
I'M 5'5 AND 11 STONE 3.
CHEERS
