Gaining weight isn't a bad thing, retard

If you're eating right and lifting, you're probably gaining muscle, not fat.
Did you even read the fucking sticky?

No, no..I read it...just thought it took a while to gain muscle.

I'm not even eating a ton of protein. I try to get it in every meal, but I don't think it's enough to gain muscle..is it?

it's literally that easy
i try to tell people that shit all the time

Wow..that's kinda cool. Never thought it was that easy though. Nice.

So, I know it's not a bad thing to gain muscle, but I'm looking to lose weight, too. Is there anything I should be doing to shed the pounds? I'd like to get to 200, at 240 now.

If you get heavy doing this, then you are gaining muscle and need to shut and and keep pressing forward. Also water. Drink water all day, every day. Weight yourself, after waking up and taking a piss, with no clothes. Preferredly at the exact same time each morning.

Do not weight yourself again until the next day, at the same time, after taking a piss. Body weight fluctuates insanely throughout the day.

cardio burns fuck all calories, unless you're training for a marathon you're better off keeping the hour and not eating the 1 regular sized candy bar that ='s the amount of calories your burnt in an hour.

you'll never be at the stage your muscle gain is outpacing your fat loss

fat is liberated easily, muscle requires a lot of time and resources (which are limited in a deficit).

If your 2 or 3 meals are 4000kcal each of course you will gain weight

lets guess .. you're not tracking your snacks and your adding "small" things to your diet that you feel shouldn't count.

that's what it is.

i'll take my $500 consultation fee now.
