I'm not seeing a thread like this up so I'm starting one
> 5"7 manlet
> weigh 155lbs
> doing starting strength
> eating 3,000 calories w/ a gram of protein per pound of body mass
This is my third week of starting strength and it looks like I've just been gaining fat. I've been working really hard as well. What do?
I guess its also worth noting that I substituted the accesory work (decline bench & hyper extensions) with dips and dead lifts since I can't do the latter two

Holy shit, you're eating to much your BMR is around 1600 and TDEE is around 2000 if your sedentary. lots of assumptions but you probably only need 2500 a day. Also I would recommend maintenance or slight cut, so you can see growth a bit easier.

Eat a bit less, if you're a beginner you don't have enough muscle mass to get away with 3000 calories a day.

I'm having a cheatmeal first time in 4 weeks and I'm a recovering fatty. I'm thinking of having a subway club sandwich without sauces, is it too high calorie for my first cheat metal?

didn't you read sticky? aim for 1 lbs gain per week. gaining fat is part of gaining muscle. they are related
anything over 1 lbs gain is just fat though unless you're on gear

thanks m8s
I actually only gained a couple pounds so it isn't a big deal I guess but I'll try staying at 2,500. One anon recommended 3,000 for me and then cut back or eat more after waiting a couple weeks, so that's why I ate 3k
