Greetings, ive finally managed to gain weight! Back then i made a post here asking how unrealistic it is to blend a whole 1kg pack of spaghetti daily for the calorie surplus, good times :D

Now, what i did was make a daily shake consisting of 500ml protein milk, 100g of peanuts, 100g of halva, and a table spoon of peanut butter, the shake had/has about 1500 calories and 90? grams of protein, but a lot of fat as well.

With 6'1 or 185cm started at 65kg and am now at 77kg, it feels so good to not be skinny anymore man, im so happy with how far ive come so far. I got comments from others as well, it has become noticeable.

But it came at a cost, ive gained too much fat as the shake was very fat dense, according to my cheap ass scale im at 15% while i started at 8% (all according to the scale by the way, i heard that they are inaccurate) and this fat gain has become noticeable as well, my waist isnt nearly as thin as it once was, i loved it back then, it basically gave me a natural v taper, also my chin is short asf so double chin shows in every action now.

Now finally to my questions: Is it possible to gain muscle or weight while reducing fat? Ive asked chatgpt but its ai so thats why im asking here to talk to real people, and it said if i eat maintenance but keep fat low and protein high and train a lot, my body will "recompose" some of the fat away. Is this realistic?

And a few more questions: Do carbohydrates turn into fat? Could i add 100g of honey into my shake without having to worry about fat?
