Gaining wieght and BF??

[Psaletta]

So after wiegh in this am (after using bathroom etc) I have gained 6 (211) pounds and 2% BF... (15%) WTF? My diet is clean @ 3000 cal a day and my 1 day a week is weak at best, meaning i eat minamal crap food.I train 5x a week and 2-3 of the days I run for a few miles after (4-5 miles) I in week 5 of a test c only cycle.. Could it be the test? Not enough cardio? Fat intake is very small each day. Zero sugar or achole while on cycle. Thanks in advance.

I just read a sticky on creatine and it said there is a good amount of bloat that comes along with its use.. I take 5mg each day... could that be the issue with gain of wieght and BF? Just a thought...

I dont know man, for me depends on the creatine a take. I only take kre alkalyn and its good quality and does not make me bloated at all.. Well are you bulking?? if so then that is why you are gaining that weight... good and bad weight comes from bulking...

psaletta welcome man!

1. what r u trying to do? cut?

2. at 211lbs and 15%bf ur maintenance cals is 2700 which would easily explain why ur gaining weight/fat..

3. post ur complete diet including total cals and macros. time of meal and time u lift..

1 scoop creatine
2 cups low fat milk

9am
6 eggs (2 whole 4 whites)

Not trying to hack the thread but I'm 212 and 14% and have been eating at 3500 cals for lean gains. Do I need to cut down to 500 above Mantenance. Sorry psalleta, I don't catch 405 on here much.

No worries greenwell.
Lean mass is what im after. I dont want to gain any more bf.. I will be adding a few days of fasted cardio the next couple of weeks to get me back down to a respectable %.
