Why is it so hard to lose body fat % but so easy to gain muscle

>>38064596
It's cause you have too much saturated fat in your diet dumb shit. Read a book about nutrition and learn something.

Are you serious? Its no problem to lose fat, especially when you are fat ass. You can lose 5lbs+ a week when you do it right.

Gaining muscle is solid, you won't gain more than 6lbs of muscle in a year unless you roid it up. I kind of see what your getting at though, gaining muscle is fun but being lean is a fucking drag. Cheat meals are a thing though.

BF% is about what you eat

Why its so hard to gain muscle?

This. Also just pick up a serious as shit cardio routine.
>inb4 but muh gains bro
A. unless your diet and routine are absolutely shit your gains will remain with basic lifting you just won't gain more easily.
B. Do cardio FIRST, drop your body fat % using said extreme cardio, once your body fat % is down, maintain body fat % while switching from cardio to pure lifting.

Tl;dr just use cardio to get super lean first then just do light cardio to maintain.

That's why it's fucking hard

Lifting weights is easy

Not being able to eat all candy, pizza and all the yummy stuff is fucking hell

Just learn to cook.
You can make rice and chicken taste fucking amazing if you know what you're doing and it'll still come out healthy.

>gaining muscle is easier than losing fat

You're 100% a delusional DYEL faggot.

The only time gaining muscle is easy is when you're in your first 3-6 months lifting, and when you're on steroids. Meanwhile the ease of fat doesn't change at all until you're at least <10% body-fat.

I do 30 minutes of bicycling on my exercise bike per day. I don't even know if this helps me to lose my weight, but I guess it's better than nothing. I've also dropped most of my soda consumption.

Maybe you should lay off the animal-derived protein the dairy mafia so recommends you to eat. Get your protein from vegetables.

When someone says they really want X but can't have it that usually means they're a fucking degenerate slob who would gorge on it all day if they could. You're fine if you don't overdo it, fatty.

Do you mean a stationary bike? I spend maybe 5/6 hours a day on my road bike whenever I can. But I can't spend 5 minutes on a trainer because it's just so freaking boring. Maybe it is a good idea for you to go out there as well and get a road bike. It feels less like a chore and more like something to enjoy from my experience.

>>38065505
I listen to music when I'm on it. I do 30 minutes because that's the time interval I keep seeing online everywhere.

Reading you dumb shit

>pop on netflix, crunchy, funimation, or vidya
>plop my spinner bike down in front of tv instead of my la-z-boy
>turn resistance up, play some titanfall 2, grab some water in between games, repeat for an hour or so
>have "fun" doing cardio

>>38064831
no matter what you do it wont taste as good as mother fucking pizza or spaghetti bolognese with cold beer

t. cant go below 15% because im so weak willed

>>38065689
It helps I'm classical trained and a damned good cook but you can make chicken taste orgasmic in multiple ways and rice is just like tofu in that it absorbs flavors under the right condition. There's even mushrooms that taste identical to mouth-watering steak.
The only real limit to it is prep time but you can stack shit days ahead of time and bulk cook in your oven. Just google this shit theres entire thinktanks of fitness sites all working on making shit desirably edible.

Ah well then keep doing what you're doing. Keep track of your progress and hopefully it will help you to lose weight. If that's your goal. It will surely improve your fitness and that's always a good thing

>>38065637
Would love to do this but I'm having trouble getting the logistics down in my parents' home.

>Keep track of your progress
I increase the level of the bike each week. Currently at level 7, and it goes up to 32. Really wondering how far I can get.

is it retarded that i do a 15 minute cycle to and from my local leisure centre to use the station cycle for 30 mins a few days a week?

>>38064786
Other way around, mate.
Not eating is easy, it only takes willpower.
Gaining muscle requires decent genetics.

You were lucky to be born with good genes so you never faced struggle with your own body, which led you to develop poor willpower (the human mind needs adversity to advance). Still, you can fix this.

Because most dudes with single digit body fat are on drugs. If you're natural you want to stay around 12-15% for aesthetics.
