I am trying to gain weight (mostly muscles) with the help of counting calories and what makes up those calories. Looking for people in similar situation. Hit me up.

Cheers!

    Hey Ladronzz, I started using MFP about 1 week plus now.

    Counting my calories and exercising to boost muscles growth. Instead I've lost 3 lbs so far. I believe those are fats loss. Which is a good thing.

    Its important when gaining weight to maximize muscle growth and limit fats growth. There are many types of calories, MFP gives me a good idea on the source of calorie that I am taking in and avoid too much carbo. Good for me, I can still manage to consume a fair bit of carbo for growth and my workout regime should take care of it.

    ah ok sounds good. You seem to be on the right path..Losing fat is definatly a good thing. I have been Eating about 3000 calories a day at a 50% carb 25% protein and fat ratio. I gained a little but then my weight fluctuates back and forth so i stopped using the scale. Im just trying to bulk slowly so i dont fully lose my Abs. That and weight lifting heavy is pretty much my routine. What kind of exercises have you been doing?

    I'm on maintenance phase but am looking to gain some muscles. There are actually some people here who have the same goals. I have some on my FL who are trying to gain weight.

    By the way there is a group here for those trying to gain weight. Check this out:
