    Do the 500 calorie diet and start smoking cigarettes and shots of vodka in between bites of celery, you should be good!

    I believe people are misunderstanding your question?? You consider yourself skinny fat and are trying to become healthier, right?

    :) I vote high protein, smart carbs, and strength training.

    Circuit training will kill more calories and get you there faster.

    This is so easy to type. Why can't I do it? Haha. But anyways, enough about me, good luck to you!!

    I thought your post was satire! :op I think maybe upping your protein and really focusing on heavy lifting would help? But then again I've only lost 3.5 lbs so far so I'm a complete novice and could only hope to attain skinny fat instead of chubby fat! ;)

    Lots of healthy, high fiber carbs along with high protein diet. Probably eat 2500 cal and find a personal trainer to build muscle. Or try p90x. Great muscle build program.

    Definitely work on strength training. Have you looked into P90X? I know guys on here got ripped after doing that and upping their protein. But you don't need to a fixed program, just make one yourself if you don't want to spend the money on P90X.

    ~20% caloric surplus, at least 1g protein/lb of body weight, complex carbs like oats and lentils, plenty of fats, heavy compound lift routine no more than 3x/week. look into starting strength or stronglifts 5x5.

    I agree. Healthy eating habits (lean meats, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, lots of water) and exercise (cardio and strength training) will do it.

    You answered for me :)

    Except if he is relatively happy with his current weight then 20% surplus may be a tad excessive. For bulking, I only go 10-15% but I prefer a slow bulk.

    You can fit "dirty" carbs into the diet no problem as well but you don't get the same macronutrients as you do from "clean" ones obviously.
