I just started my first ever bulk 2 weeks ago after losing 19lbs and I'm wondering if the weight i'm gaining is water retention or actual fat/muscle.

2 weeks ago: 158lbs
Today: 164lbs

24 years old and 5'9

Calorie intake: 3000
45% Carbs
30% Protein
25%Fats

    I'd take measurements if I were you. Just a number on the scale isn't going to tell you much. And take pictures as well.

    definately some water in there.

    a small amount of fat, a small amount of muscle. but mostly water.

    Creatine especially will make you retain water. As was said, take some pics/measurements. If it increases too quickly for another few weeks then reassess your cal target.
