Hey guys, I need some advice. I've been hitting the gym

Muscle weighs more than fat so I think you're good

If you're lifting for the first time and continuously improving on lifts, you might be gaining some muscle, which will reflect on the scale. Also could be water retention, not having a shit before weighing, or any other plethora of reasons.

Don't cut any lower than 1k calories.

I have read from sticky and other sources that you either gain weight or loose it be fat or muscle. Or can I loose fat while gaining muscle?

Also I have weigthed across multiple hours and stablished a baseline for comparison at morning after peeing each friday.

Also what fat burners do you recommend, is Hydroxicut a good choice?

Yes you can lose fat and gain muscle and weight even as muscle is much denser than fat. This is commonly referred to on /fit/ as the newb gainz phase. It is easy for beginners to do because they have so much expendable fat and so little muscle development. If you are a healthy young man there is no need for burners as you call them. If you are following a half way decent routine there is no reason you can't eat 2k a day and lose weight. There are no shortcuts even gear isn't a real shortcut as you have to still put in the work and eat It's just dangerous and unnecessary. Learn to love the grind. Stop counting the months and accept /fit/ as a lifestyle and not a chore and you will make it. Trust me.

Yeah, I really got into the gym as a way of lifestyle, it gives me a really nice boost for the day and I feel relaxed and confident.

I got recommended the fat burner because it gives you a coffe-like feeling and accelerates your hear rate so you burn more calories.

Thing is I want to make sure I am making progress, so I need to track it, that's also why I am asking here. I'd like to dedicate to the gym fully but first I need to loose of the extra weight I got.

I am not sure about the 2k, used some calorie calculators and even thought I am going to the gym 5 times a week I think 1000 is a nice cut for 1k a week.

Yohimbe, ephedrine, caffeine, etc.

None of the shit that has a proprietary blend.

Why are you cutting that hard at that bodyweight and height? You can gain muscle on a deficit as a beginner, but not that extreme if you're not a total fatass.

You should be eating ~500 calories below your TDEE if you are super concerned about losing fat. That's roughly 1800-2000 (use a calculator) a day.

What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?.
When using normal calculators I get I should cut to 1000-1200 calories whoever with the TDEE I get I should cut to arround 1.8k. Is this going to do it right?.I have 26% body fat so yeah I am kind of a fatass but looking to loose fat and avoid loosing muscle as much as I can so when I get lower bf I can bulk.

Hydroxicut SX 7 (the fat burner I am taking) has yohimbe, caffeine, green coffee bean extract, and a couple other "fat burning" elements

BMR is what your body burns if you are in a coma all day.

TDEE is what you actually burn as an active person.

I'm guessing your TDEE is around 2300-2500 calories based on your bodyweight and lifting. I would eat much less than 500-700 below that because it will start to attack what lean mass you have. You don't want to end up skinnyfat.

>>39726547
Yeah, it is 2300. But taking into account I eat 500-700 less calories, weight loss would be next to nothing. I read that a lb is about 3.5k calories so a kg is around 7k. That'd be arround 2 weeks. Is that info correct?
