Fat. Gaining muscle does not work the same as losing fat, but the calculations on mfp use the same algorithm. If you're trying to gain muscle, manually set yourself to eat around 300 calories above maintenance

Agree. Fat. Especially with power 90.

To add to this, you need to do a real strength training program to gain anything.

Agree with the other posters...ditch the Power 90 and I would suggest trying something like SL 5x5. You are eating at a 750 cal a day surplus to put on 1.5lb each week. Lean muscle building takes time, at that surplus, alot of those cals will be converted to fat.

Get on a good lifting program if you want to build muscle. The calorie requirements on MFP at least for me are too low. My goal was to gain .5 per week and I ended up loosing about 1 LB. If you want a better calorie calculator look at the Harris Benedict or Katch-Mcardle. Also 1.5 LBS per week is a lot and you may gain more fat than you want.
