I just have a curious question, which im getting different vibes from different places.
I started working out around 3 months ago, now doing 15k a week ( 5k 3 times a week ) and 4 times a week strenght lifting.
I have see ALOT of gains since the time I started and I know they are there since I work hard to get them.
I went down from 190 to 170 in 3 months and did it with workouts and calorie deficit. ( i count on MFP ). Now I want to keep my current weight or go slowly up, but I don't want to get the weight as fat. I'm trying to lose the lower belly fat and little of the love handels. And to get bigger and bulkier you need to eat more.
So my question is, do I still effectively burn fat even as I eat more calories or do I need to go on a bulk, get bigger and then cut like crazy to lose the fat.
I'm currrently at 2350cal ( 295 carbs, 80fat and 170+ protein ). I altarnate every 5 days and eat 200-300cal more for meta. boost.
TLDR; Can you burn fat even if eating more then my calorie or I need to lower from my calorie to lose the belly fat?
Thanks guys!
