Gaining weight from workingout 6-7 days a week and eating healthy

[kristin333]

I am 5'7 and I have always weighed 110 pounds. Since I started working out daily and eating healthy I am now at 127 pounds. I know muscle weighs more than fat but it still makes me a little discouraged for some reason. I have noticed changes like my arms being more toned, and my abs are starting to show. I think my body fat is at about 7%. But is that much of a weight gain good? Or am i doing something wrong?

Haha you must be extremely lean but if you are female I highly doubt your bf% is 7% because you would be having some serious issues if it were that low! In my opinion, weight is stupid, so don't fixate over that. Go by how you feel, how you look in the mirror, and how much your strength increases.

Edit: btw, 127 is a huge improvement over 110 for your height, by any standards. Congrats on the muscle and the healthier llifestyle!

Well first off muscle doesn't weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound.
It sounds like you're on a pretty successful bulk. Keep it up! You can always cut any unwanted fat away later

Don't be discouraged we have similar stats... except I'm 30 pounds heavier than you. It's a sign you're gaining muscle which means your hard work training and eating is paying off. If you're at 15% bf you're still very very lean for a girl.
