Hello!
I'm very new here and also relatively new to the gym. I'm hoping I can receive some guidance please.
I've been seeing a PT once per week since early December, and I train consistently at least 4-5 days per week. At the very beginning I took measurements to so I can see my progress. Both my PT and I have noticed big improvements in my strength since I first started as I am lifting heavier weights and am able to push through more sets, however despite being two months into my training my measurements remain the exact same and I look no different to when I started. Is this normal and the gains will suddenly appear, or am I doing something wrong?
My assumption is that perhaps it's my diet that is preventing me from seeing changes. I have a gut and lovehandles to lose, and even those measurements remain the same.
A typical weekday of eating for me would include:
Breakfast = coffee + 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt, oats, blueberries, strawberries, honey, mixed nuts and cinnamon
Lunch = protein shake
Snack = coffee + four crackers with peanut butter, which I am now replacing with celery and carrot sticks with hommus instead
Dinner = Oven baked chicken breast and steamed veggies
Dessert = coffee + small sugar free chocolate bar
Sorry, I'm really not sure what amount of calories I'm eating, but do you think this diet is preventing me from gaining muscle? I'm just not sure what I should be eating and how much in order to burn body fat + build muscle. These are my stats (pre-PT and current - they haven't changed):
Age = 31
Height = 170cm/5ft 7in
Sex = Male
Waist = 95cm
Hips = 104cm
Chest = 99cm
Right bicep = 38cm
Left bicep = 34cm
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix this?
Thanks so much! :)
