Hi guys

I do cardio 30min a day and weight train other 30min

I eat 1200 cal a day, eat some exercise cal back, and I am looking bigger! ( I am female so I don't want to)

Must I up my cardio? I eat in a deficit so why am I bulking??

    It's unlikely that you're bulking. What it is more likely is water weight, muscle swelling due to using them for exercise, sodium and water weight, possibly hormones, or just the general micro shifts that happen whenever we shock our bodies with a new routine.

    All of these things will settle out in time. No worries.

    In terms of fat loss or shape. Just bigger

    Hm. Okay, let me give this a bump so that maybe some other more knowledgeable members can get in here and give you some answers!
