I'm eating healthier but still gaining fat? :/

Strength Training. I speculate that you may be losing muscle, and therefore increasing body fat percentage. I would continue to eat healthy (as you are doing now) and adding a strength training routine to maintain or even build muscle mass.

THIS exactly.

THIS lol keep doing what your doing... peeked at your diary and it looks amazing... just add some strength training in there.. keep it up girl!!

Honey----You could stand a little meat of some sort on your bones. FAT or muscle! Take your pic!

I looked at your diary. The soups and Subway are LOADED with sodium. I think the "fat" you see is actually just water weight.

I think may be developing an unhealthy attitude to how you exercise and how you perceive your body. That 'fat' is probably just skin and in the worse case scenario feeling 'flabby' because your body is beginning to eat away at the muscle mass underneath it.

As people have said above...don't worry and you don't look like you need to be losing any weight just enjoy how you look already! xx

sorry but your way too thin stop dieting, I dont mean to be cruel but you look anorexic, eat for gods sake eat.

I think she just said she IS eating more as she was eating too little before...

If you actually looked at her diary, she's eating pretty well. 2000 calories some days. Maybe before you post something so judgmental, you should actually try looking into what she's eating.

thats great girl keep it up .... i am gonna eat a salad now lol ...

You do little a little thin, but honestly your diary looks great. It really seems like you have a handle on your eating. How tall are you? I agree that strength training and less cardio might be better for your to gain the muscle you need to really look super fit (if thats what you want)

In order to eliminate the flab, you should concentrate highly on weight training and aim to eat 20% over TDEE. You can go through bulk and cut phases. Bulk, you will add muscle and a little body fat, and then cut down to eliminate that fat you gained from eating a calorie surplus. You can look to do programs like strong lift 5x5 as it can help lead to muscle gain.

You might feel bloated (or "fat") because of the types of foods you're eating. I find that if I eat a lot of wheat, then I feel bloaty. I'm just flirting with a grain-free diet now, and I don't really get that feeling anymore. Maybe try adding in some raw veggies to your snack? Also, in terms of healthy ways to add calories, what about nut butters? (I just tried coconut butter and it is probably the most delicious thing I've ever eaten!) You could also eat avocados (if you like them)-- for example, make a quick guacamole and put it on grilled chicken or fish. Look at my diary if you want ideas. I'm finding even more that it's what I eat rather than strictly calories alone.

There's a book called "Wheat Belly" that a friend of mine read and recommended that discusses these ideas in a LOT more depth.

Take care of yourself

I took a look at your diary and for the past few weeks, you've been WAY OVER with sodium and WAY UNDER with water intake. This may have something to do with the "fat" you're seeing. Lower your sodium intake and up your water and you should see a difference within a week.

You are probably just experiencing some bloating from the change (a good change) in your eating habits.

But strength training is also a good idea.
