Answers:
A couple things you may want to think about!. There are about 3500 calories in a pound, which means in order to gain a pound you would have to consume 3500 more calories than your body needs!.
Another thing perhaps to consider is that muscle tissue is actually 15% more dense than adipose (fatty) tissue!. This fact makes it fathomable that, if you're gaining muscle, you are actually also gaining a little bit of weight, even if you're feeling stronger and healthier!. However THIS IS NOT A BAD THING!. In fact, although gaining muscle may cause a tiny bit of weight gain in the beginning, muscle tissue burns fat very efficiently because it uses it to replenish depleted muscle energy!. This means that gaining muscle in the long run will allow you to burn a lot more fat than if you had less muscle!.
If you're sticking to your diet and exercise routines, only good things will happen for you! Good luck, and feel free to let me know if you need any more information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
