gain weight and lose body fat?

**diplomat** · 07-16-2003, 03:02 PM

Is it possible with my eating habits to gain weight and lose body fat? I eat 4 eggs in the morning, for lunch I eat 2 packets of oatmeal and 2 pieces of bread, and have some kinds of meat with vegetables and rice for dinner. I also have 2 glasses of milk a day mixed with EAS advantEdge Hp high performance creatine. So is it possible for me to gain wait with a high carb and protein diet yet lose body fat(% wise)?or do i need to eat more?

It's possible if you're a beginner, but generally you need a calorie surplus to gain muscle and a calorie defecit to lose bodyfat.

it can happen, but not to the exreems that you'd wish. It would take significantly longer too achieve the same results doing them both at the same time than one then the other. Peace

no....you're talking about dropping an amount of fat that would take around 10 weeks to lose, and gain an amount of muscle that would take 6 months to gain (roughly).....so....no. Peace

If ur a begginer its possible. Otherwise, you can limit fat by using cardio sensibly. LOw intensity though, u dont wanna eat up those musle building calories. If you totally erase junk food its actually hard to eat so much that you gain hideous amounts of fat which will make cutting easier.

how would it take me that many months to gain 7 lbs? i gained like 15 in a month with alot of muscle. I just want to lose some body fat so my abs look more defined.^^^^to poppa pump.

because it's not an increase in 7 lbs. since you wanna drop your bodyfat down too...if you lose 10-15 lbs. in fat, you'd have to put on 17-22 lbs. and that takes time...i don't know your experience level, but you said you weren't knew in which case you wouldn't be putting on 15 lean lbs. in a month.

well first off im a teen and its called creatine and eating alot of protein. Thats how i gained 15 lean lbs in a month and if i did gain the 7 lbs first how long do u think it would take me to get to 6% body fat after the weight gain?
