Ok so I am currently off the gym due to lockdown (it's killing me) and I have gained about 1 1/2lb in 2 months which is almost certainly fat (and maybe some muscle loss so possibly more fat gain) as the home workouts ain't doing ****. I am writing off this period before I can get back to the gym, I will still eat in moderation as I am currently attempting to eat at maintenance (though as you can see, my attempt has failed lol) but go over by 2-300kcal a day about 50% of the time. If I gain no more than 2-2 1/2 lbs by the time the gyms reopen (which I hope is August/sept at the latest) I will be happy.
Anyway, before the gyms closed I just started my bulk workout and diet after cutting from 87kg to 71kg, literally 1 week before lockdown....I was about 11% bf and I am now about 12-13%. I plan to start where I left off when I get back but want to know the realistic rate of fat gain so I can adjust my expectations, I will be eating a small surplus (300kcal) and aiming to gain about 1-2lb a month. I heard that for every 1lb of muscle you gain, you should expect to gain about 1lb of fat? surely that can't be right?
