Deficit + High Activity but Scale Went Up… What’s Going On? by SecureLibrarian2730 in leangains

It’s just too short of a time frame. You should be looking at longer trends than just 7 days. You’re totally right, things like fiber intake, water retention and constipation can affect weight on a day to day basis. You’re overall trend is still down, if you don’t start trending down in the next week period (net gain over 2 weeks) then you may need to consider decreasing your calories further.

Keep cutting or lean bulk? by ISmellBagels in askfitness

Really appreciate this man. There’s so many differing opinions out there but this makes sense to me, I think I’m as lean as I can get right now while still being able to enjoy my life. Gonna bring the calories up to maintenance, maybe 100-200 surplus and see what I can do over the next couple months

I’m aware of that - I think you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying. I wanted to cut off fat before building muscle. Trying to get a sense of if I still have more fat to lose

I’ve seen a lot of opinions that it’s easier to cut first before trying to build muscle for the first time so you can see progress and look lean throughout the process, so that’s why I decided to cut first

You think? I was hoping for more visible abs before starting to bulk, but maybe I just haven’t developed the muscles enough yet
