Thread: weight loss - muscle gain

we're in the same boat. i'd like to get leaner while gaining muscle. and unfortunately being able to do that is a myth. if you want to put on more muscle you need to be eating more calories than your body needs everyday. this is called 'bulking'. this means you'll inevitably gain some fat. now HOW MUCH fat you gain all depends on your diet. eat clean to minimize fat gains. once you gain enough weight (muscle), you start eating fewer calories than your body needs everyday (cutting).

check out the sticky on bulking and cutting that jodi wrote. you'll find a lot of info in there.

protein. yes, eating lots of protein is expensive.
whey protein, is cheap if you buy it online. eggs are also pretty cheap.
