I am not a troll. I don't want to cause problems. I just am trying to figure out how to feel about what is going on in my body. I weighed today and have gained another 2+ pounds. Now from by body fat machine it bounced back and forth between saying no gain in fat to .5# gain in fat.

I am eating 1500 calories on non-lifting days. I don't do much cardio, but I do ride my bike and do martial arts on three of these days.

On lifting days I eat 1700-1800. Had been eating 1800 but last night tried 1700 but was hungry and had problems sleeping do to hunger. I was good and didn't eat, but may try 1750 next time.

If I wanted to bulk, I would be a happy girl. Since Nov. I have put on 12# with only about 4# of it being fat.

I use to eat about 1000 - 1200 calories a day and do all kinds of exercise. I understand that it will take awhile for my body to get use to the extra calories --- how much should I let it go before I go back to eating very little?

Or should I not worry about it and since my body fat % is going down and be happy?

Help!!!
