    2lbs a week too much to gain?

    I finished a cut a couple weeks ago, and was 10% bf measured by home scale. I now am eating 3000 cals a day, and consistently gaining 2lbs a week. Is this too much? Im noticing a slight increase in bf but still toned. This is how the past weeks have played out. Only weighing on fridays.

    Week 1. 144.4 @ 11.4%
    Week 2. 146.4 @ 11.6%
    Week 3. 148.6 @ 11.8%
    Week 4. Not happend yet.

    The scale is a scale from walmart so i wouldnt take the bodyfat estimates to heart.

    Should i keep gaining until i see to much rise in bf? or what do you recccomend?

    A realistic weakly muscle gain is about 0.25-0.5 lbs. The rest is fat/water. Good luck.
    The above statement/post does not represent the opinions of anyone in real life. This is the internet. Not real life. Anyone who cannot grasp the difference between the two lacks the basic intelligence necessary for survival and should not be allowed to form opinions.

    Cut down to a pound max. Hold a 2 lb steak in your hand and try to imagine this much muscle gain in one week. Not gonna happen. With 1 lb a week about half will be fat, there is really no way around it People think they're putting on only muscle because the fat gets added on all over so it's not that noticeable.
    If you don't get what you want you didn't want it bad enough
