Looks like I am gaining much more fat than muscle with my lifting program with calorie surplus. Calorie surplus update. Second Third Average 20.3%

Nice one!

Update. Second Third

Well that is true, I better just save these numbers and then see how they change in 2-4 weeks.

^^ Anyone?

Okay so far so good. I lost around 1.5kg and at the same time I am able to lift 2-3kg heavier in every upper body lifting exercise. So I take it that I have not lost any muscles. I took my measurements this morning and went on http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ to calculate my bodyfat and the results are so different!…

Well I can easily live without Starbucks, but I cannot live without the coffee machine at work. Therefore I was more worried about the work coffee being something like 50-100 calories instead of 2 calories, that's why I was comparing it to Starbukcs one.

But I always order it with out topping, which means no sweetened whip cream.

So what you are suggesting is, gain muscle and fat first with calorie surplus of -lets say- 200-300 cals at day, then once you have built some nice muscles, just do calorie deficit for a while and lose the fat?

And how do you make sure you wont get fat by eating at surplus? I mean my concern is, if I eat at surplus to gain muscles, i will just end up with a bigger belly even if i work out 3 days a week and lift heavy. :/

Clean shaven face of me = *kitten* of a chicken. So even as a banker, I keep my beard.

Sara, dixie, savbentley and Mike. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your inputs. I am gonna add HIIT to my trainings and see how it goes. @Evgeni, Thank you, I dont think just cutting quickly is the right way to go. Btw I don't eat much sweets or ice cream, because I don't really like it (believe it or not). So it is not…

Thanks you guys. Well I never eat chocolate, ice cream, fast food or drink soda etc.. I mean I didnt even have them before starting to my diet or workout which is why my weight was already okay, but then I decided to have bigger arms and shoulder without belly. So I think what I eat is not the problem. Also, as you all…

I do feel that my arms and feet are getting lean and tight, but my belly is quite stubborn to show any advance and it is quite annoying. I am not talking about my weight. I eat around 1800-2000 calories (like 200-400 cal less than i burn), like 40-20-40 c-f-p. I eat 2000-2200 cal on the days I work out though. (I made my…

Thanks a lot for the replies, I appreciate it. To be honest, I find it quite easy to eat lots of protein and litle fat or carbs. As you can see from my diary (I believe it is visible). And it doesn't make me starve or powerless, I even feel very energetic or have too much energy lately with this diet, for some reason. So I…

Thanks Robin but that doesn't really answer my question, in fact I don't think you even read the whole post :)

Which topic is the bikini one? I couldn't read the rest of your message after realizing I missed that topic.

Sex body, beautiful face and sense of humour. and those versions that don't talk, but i think it is not out yet.

I needed a make friend to spice up all the lady friends on my list. Welcome. lol

and do you interrupt the game every time too? lol

Katy Perry :P

Well now the weather is awesome to walk by the marina or beach, but as you said in a few months, it will be disaster. I have a gym in the apartment I am staying, so it is not a problem. What I meant was now I need to spend time for gym and working out, while in Amsterdam my daily life would do it for me, without putting…

Thank you! Still have not been to AD, but hopefully soon! That is awesome! I mean that you love living there, because in Dubai I met so many people who keeps whining about living here :) Thank you for the all info! That is exactly my problem. In Amsterdam I always biked to the university or work or just to meet friends…

Just checked it on the map, you are way closer to Qatar than UAE. It is looks like a nice island. Is it ruled by Islam? If so, is it quite flexible with laws like Dubai or strict?

Cool! Thanks!

Nice :) No idea about Bahrain though, I am still quite illiterate about the area.
