Bulking while losing belly fat

[hunger4muscle]

i just want to ask questions regarding my goal and my program.

So here's my profile and and goals.

Age: 19
Current weight: 140-141 lbs. I have a flabby belly. Fats are around my belly and lower back
Height: 5'6" or 5'7"

History:
1. I used to play basketball when i was in elementary and highschool (lol).
2. During my college years, i tried going to the gym. It went on for 2-3 months then stopped and after a few months, went to the gym again. In other words, i dont go to the gym regularly.
3. I was fat since i was a kid until 2nd year college. I lost weight and some fat. I think from 150lbs of being a fatass i became a 133lbs pencil neck.
4. Even though im thin i still got the fat around my belly and lower back.

Current:
1. Im going to the gym regularly since April 2011.
2. Going to the gym 3x a week. Having a cardio (HIIT from insanity) 2x a week
3. Doing Ab ripper X (from p90x workout) 3x a week
4. I gained muscles. My Shoulders, biceps, triceps and chest improved.
5. From 136-137lbs to 140-141 lbs.

Current Diet:
1. High carb/ High protein diet
2. I eat 2-3 cups of rice a day
3. I eat lots of fish/meat. But most are fried (My mom cooks my food)
4. Im eating 5-6x a day. My goal is 2,800k calories
5. Im eating lots of peanuts. But recently all this acne are popping up, so i reduced my peanut intake.

Goals:
1. I really want to bulk up. My target weight is 155 lbs.
2. I want to get rid the fat in my tummy and love handles. Im not rushing to get some ripped abs, all i want for now is to lose those damn fat.

You know, i really want to bulk up, like i said, my target weight is 155 lbs. Im open for suggestions. If you can suggest something like losing my belly fat while bulking up will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot guys.

You can not bulk and lose body fat at the same time.

Bulking means calorie surplus and in order to lose body fat you need a calorie deficit.

just bulk bulk bulk bulk until you're satisfied with your strength and size then cut. Or until like 2012 spring so you can cut for summer

This. On a bulk you will gain additional body fat, yet your BF% COULD decrease, but it is near impossible for most, especially at your level. As a beginner in your "pencil neck frame", just bulk up in weight and focus on strengthening your body to build a solid foundation. Once you feel your bulk is complete, you can begin cutting to trim down the body fat.

And as far as bulking goes, calculate your daily caloric maintenance number (various online calculators) then add five-hundred to that number, and consume that amount of calories daily. That being said you should gain roughly a pound a week. If after a few weeks or months you begin to stall on weight gain, or aren't getting good enough results, you can go on a dirty bulk (more calories) to promote faster weight gain, yet you will accumulate higher levels of fat in the process, so your choice. Start with a clean bulk (<500 calories) and if you feel necessary, transition into a dirty bulk.

Yeah, it is possible for body fat % to decrease, but that doesn't mean losing fat, it basically just means gaining muscle without any fat. However, like you already said, it's a very hard thing to do.

So it's near impossible to lose my fatty love handles while bulking up?

As a beginner it is possible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time.

Why dont you cut then bulk?

[DemAbz]

As a beginner I would say it is definitely possible to lose the belly while gaining muscle. Just makesure to eat clean.
