Hi, i have a question about my diet.
I am 29y old, 1.64m, and weigh 48kg. Workout 4 times a week, have a split weight training routine. 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,
:)

Add some protein to breakfast and your snck, otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

Are you looking leaner? 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 extra weight you are gaining is muscle because I don't see how you could possibly be gaining fat in what you're eating. Measure you body fat not your overall weight.
