Hi everyone,

I just finished reading the book, and learned so much! I also really enjoyed Lou's writing style, which had me laughing out loud in places!

I have a question about putting on muscle mass, though, that I was hoping I could get some help with. I only want to lose another pound or two, and my main goal is to put on some muscle and gain definition. I've read before that you need to eat more calories to put on muscle. Is that true? Or can I stay within my calorie limit given in Chapter 7 and still put on muscle? The book seems to suggest this since the nutrition plan is part of the workout plan, but I'd like to be sure.

Thanks in advance for any help!
