Quads are now too big..

Hi everyone
So I feel I'm in a bit of a viscious cycle. I lost 40 pounds which left my legs all flabby..so I started weight training. About a month ago I got to a strage where I was really happy with them. They were thin but defined. Now they're jjust too muscley! When I turn to the side especially my quads look huge. For cardio I do bodyattack classes and run..but running is another confusion!! I heard people say the best way to lose weight is by doing HIIT but I recently read that HIIT also builds a lot of muscle compared to just running at the same pace...so I dont know what to do!! I really want to look toned but I want to look elegant still and not too bulky..
(and my diet is very clean..around 12-1500 cals a day but its all meat veg fruit and protein shakes. Maybe I should lay off the protein subsitutues??)

NO
the only thing that builds a lot of muscle is a caloric surplus and heavy weight training
HIIT is an intense form of cardio and cardio does not build muscle0 -
Nope.0

Have you measured your quads? Have they actually got bigger or is it that they just have a more defined appearance? Since you're eating at a calorie deficit, what's probably happening is that they look more muscle-y because of the amount of fat you've lost. When you were happier with them, you probably had slightly more fat, giving them a "softer" look.0

as fat melts away, the muscle looks more pronounced, even when it's smaller.
My thighs look much bigger than they used to, but are 2" smaller in diameter.

Your legs are not too muscley.0

Your quads are too big?! Bulky?!
HAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I would love my quads to grow some more, they are pretty big now, but I need more definition...
Um do you have pics so we can judge this bodybuilder image you are conjuring? Nope did not think so...
Pffffffft!0 -
i have big legs too... its a good thing to have genetics wise... just sucks that you have to buy new jeans all the damn time... and HIIT doesnt build nearly as much muscle as any type of resistance training... plus u want muscle its the fat that makes ur legs look like sh-t0

Posts like these make me wonder why I even click on them...
OP, without even seeing a pic, I assure you that your quads are not too big. It's all in your head.0 -

Agreed. How about some pictures so we can see how you look
"Strong is the new skinny" generally means you will have really good muscle definition, and trust me, most of us guys think it is really hot..... For me, ultra hot.0 -

This! And don't forget that muscle burns fat!0 -
If you don't want to build muscle, then why protein shakes? I would quit them and fill in with real food. I am personally trying to build a little muscle, but only have one or two shakes per week after really intense workouts.
And if you don't like the way your thighs look, then you can always quit squatting heavy and/or replace some or all of your HIIT cardio with steady state cardio. I have the opposite problem. Training for a half marathon, so not doing enough to build my quads, but after my race in February, I will try to bulk a little.
And I agree with the others, at that deficit, you can't be building much muscle--it's more likely that you are still reducing body fat and the muscles are just easier to see.0 -
mmm...huge quads. Let's see pics!

Protein is protein. Drinking whey is not only for building muscle. As you stated, you build muscle in a calorie surplus.If you don't want to build muscle, then why protein shakes? I would quit them and fill in with real food. I am personally trying to build a little muscle, but only have one or two shakes per week after really intense workouts.0 -
