in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Just downloaded mfp 2 days ago and my goal is to gain a few more pounds and converted into lean muscle. I recently started to get more serious on hitting the gym harder and eating clean. I'm looking fwd for a better physique body.

    Thank you for your feedback.
    I am doing a lifting program. I am preping most of my meals for the last month and I've seen a good result for a very short time. I think is bcuz i hv been a gym lifter for the past 3yrs but was not consistent due to work.

    Also - there is no such thing as lean muscle unless you are ordering some meat at the butcher.

    There is Lean Body Mass (LBM) which is everything in body NOT fat - water, muscle, bones, organs, ect.
    Perhaps that is the confusion - but drink 16 ozs of water and you just gained 1 lb of LBM.

    I'm guessing you mean gain weight, but hopefully not much fat. No conversion going on.
    Your body will decide where the fat is laid down - usually belly first, so a little bit perhaps not a problem for muscles on arms and back and legs.
    But eat in surplus and no lifting - fat gain. Won't convert later.

    But your plan is good if you are going to eat in surplus.

    if you have gained say three pounds, then you more than likely gained 1.5 pounds of muscle and 1.5 pounds of fat. this is assuming a 50/50 ratio of muscle to fat gain, and would assume that your training and nutrition are spot on..if not, then you would have gained more fat and less muscle...

    You'll make some real progress if you undertake a well formulated, progressive lifting programme and not some thrown together bro-split.
