I run cross country, so i have a question. Will doing tough cardio while tring to gain weight cause a problem? Or would it just help me burn fat while building muscle? I can workout only up to 4 times a week becuase im very busy with school. The nutrition plan MUST be able to work around a school day, becuase school is a large obsticle in my situation. If anyone can write up a nutrition and or workout plan for me, id be extremely grateful.

I would suggest getting some new goals, cross country and mass don't mix.

Get a sport that goes with your goal, or get a new goal.

LOL... Nothing like being direct!! So... sure - I could write both....

But it will cost you!!


Anyway.... To answer questions:
1/ yes - doing heavy cardio will impact on your gains... a lot.

2/ doing lots of cardio will not 'keep fat off but build muscle', especially if it is long haul/ endurance cardio

3/ more time in the gym doesn't necessarily mean better gains... some of the best gains can be seen with only 3 days in the gym.

4/ 125# and 5'8-5'9... Damn.... Anyway - at 17 you shouldn't get caught up about 'the exactness' of a detailed diet plan... You don't need it and you will do yourself more harm than good. You should just eat healthy and... eat a lot [x many].
