And do 20-30 minutes cardio afterwards. My fat % was 14 two months ago, and my goal is to have a muscular body and low fat. I just dont know if I should be gaining weight or if I should remain where I am. My trainer at the gym said I should eat more, and I am actually eating 1900kcal per day (approx). I have gained 1 kg per month in the last two months (was 46 before), but I am getting a bit concerned, dont want to get fat. I have gotten stronger though and I progress a little on my weight training every week. But where will this weight gain stop and how much should it go on? My diet is breakfast: 130g oatmeal with all bran and raisins/granola snack: protein shake lunch: 100g tuna/salmon, 1 slice of whole grain bread and vegetables,cottage cheese, a small cup of low fat yoghurt snack: 2 fruits dinner: 150g meat (lean beef, chicken or similar) vegetables, rice or potato snack before going to bed (or after training) protein shake I also drink a lot of water (3litres per day) Hope you can help! Thanks, :) -------------- *bee*

Take some photos every two weeks to caompare and go by whether you see change, rather than what the scale says. weight isn't the best measure to go by when you are muscular. -------------- "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."
