Although I have gained a pound I'm not worried. In fact, I'm going to chalk this up to a win with muscle gain and fat loss.
It took me years to figure how my body changes to diet and exercise and I learned how to lose weight/fat. My new challenge is learning how to gain muscle and shed a bit more fat. It's much easier than losing weight.
Secret? Caloric deficit while eating 1g of protein per lb of body weight. I've been eating 190-200g of protein for the past 2 weeks and see and feel the difference.
My protein consumption includes egg whites, eggs, cheese, chorizo, beef, chicken, fish, Trutein protein blend & Nitrotech casein protein powder, quest and pure protein bars, Greek yogurt, granola bar with added protein, and low carb veggies
