Thread: gaining muscle mass without fat

So I’ve been on a pretty high protein diet at like 230 grams a day. I only eat carbs pre and post workout. I consume fats only from coconut oil (one serving) and 3 whole eggs. My only carb sources are 3 servings of oatmeal.

I lost 100lbs and now I’m 210. I want to be at around 230 but look big without fat. I already built 18+ inch arms and a big chest, but now I want to be bigger.

Can you guys help me out? What can I do to maximize fat loss/muscle growth at the same time. I’ve been on a diet since august 25th and in that time I’ve lost 100lbs.

My diet has been extremely strict. My protein sources are greek yogurt, egg whites, casein, whey and tuna. I know it tastes like ass but I got rid of fat fast! I also do cardio 30-45 minutes a day about 2 hours after lifting weights because if I do it in the morning I don’t have energy for weights.

I eat 5 meals a day btw.

I was fit my entire life until I got a stressful job and ate high calories fast food daily. I got tired of it and decided to make s change, except now I have loose ass skin which looks worse than fat.

Anyways help me add more of what i need in order to maximize muscle growth. My arm is literally 18 inches depleted, I’m such low calories. I have an impressive upper body and a horrible looking stomach cuz of loose ass skin.

I’m thinking that I need to be eating 300+ grams of protein a day. I don’t know how many carbs, I don’t know how many fats. All i know is that my body puts on lots of muscle mass on while I eat beef and potatoes. My body also grows from adding extra fats. But i’m not sure what to do so that’s why I’m asking for help.

you're bound to gain some fat when bulking, but a surplus of 200-300 calories has been proven to work the best. you'll do fine with under 200 grams of protein per day, no need to eat over 300. then again, i wouldn't even bulk if i were you, but everyone has different goals i suppose...

to put it simply:
- train hard
- ~250 surplus
- minimum of 0.7g of protein & 0.4g of fat per pound of bodyweight
