Hi, I'm trying to find people wanting same outcome. I've lost the body fat now trying to add muscle. I would like to maintain 8% body fat. Any help.

    I doubt you're going to maintain 8-10% while building muscle. Don't be shy to go over to the section dealing with Weight Gain and ask some questions.

    I get a body composition scan done once a month. It's called ' in body 570 body composition analysis' it tells you everything. Very helpful. I've just increased my cal's. I try to eat 250 less than I burn. I also use a fit bit hr tracker. My cal's are 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat. It only eat clean food.

    It can be done Tim, as long as your diet is right. The scan I get tells you if your gaining muscle or fat. If you don't eat enough you burn muscle up, if you eat to much you gain fat. Sugar is to be avoided. I'm also weight training 5 times a week, I do a very light jog 3 times a week. Talk to a suppliment store for advice on proteins, amino acids. Etc. They are all needed to gain mescle.
