Getting fat from a diet

[Eugene]

I am a newbie(6 weeks training), and from what I could find on this site, I understand that I should keep a diet for a maximum muscle growth.
Now I am eating as I ate before I strated going to the gym, that is - 3 average meals a day.
In this period of training I kept my original weight, yet since my muscle mass has increased, I probably lost some fat. Now I am as thin as I want to be.

However, if I am going now to eat 6 meals a day as it is recommended, I will eat every day about 1kg (2 pound) of more food than before. Therefore in a week I'll add 7 kgs to my weight.

I doubt very much, that these 7 kgs will be pure muscle, and I am quite sure that I'll just be fatter, and look fatter(especially the stubborn abs domain).

Why then, high calories diets are recommended, and what diet should I choose?

Thanks.

U have the option of reducing the amount of calls u take in at each meal, making each one smaller!! Just figure out how many cals u need for either maintenance, cutting or bulking, whichever u wanna do, and divide by six!! U eat more often to keep ur metabolism revving high, prevent insulin spikes etc...

Makes sense to me..

Do more cardio

save the second link to your hardrive and input your stats. That will give you your nutrient needs as far as calories and grams, for cutting, bulking, and maintaining.

OK, Just because you eat a pound of food, doesnt mean you will gain 1 pound. You will gain a pound of fat if you eat an excess of 3500 calories.
Example: 1 pound of vegetables does not contain 3500 calories(unless you smother them in butter ) so eating a pound of vegetables wont make you gain a pound of weight. The actual weight of your food doesnt even matter. Read up and give us some details on what you eat now and when/how you workout and we can work from there.

I want to do bulking, yet I want my belly in every stage to remain flat. The other thing is that I cannot and don't want to count calories, besides I don't eat at home and have no idea how many calories are in the army food I eat.

So I need somehow to understand how much should I eat.

Is the secret - never be hungry, yet don't ever stuff yourself, and when you eat, eat more protein?

Dogg Crap's diet plan often calls for guys to ingest around 400-500 gram protein/day or more if needed. Try getting it all from wholefood protein and eating that first in the meal. You may find it works to restrict caloric intake enough to keep you lean, affording you more control over your caloric intake than you would have without the satiety and thermic effects of protein.

You might also look at a carb cycling bulk or something like that. Doesn't involve calorie counting either.
