Hello to all the Sifu bodybuilders, I have few questions in mind, help me out please smile.gif

Ok firstly, I workout 6 days a week, have lost total of 10kg + over 4months, now I am trying to build muscle.

I just measure my body percentage, from 23% to 18.1%, so I am still trying to reduce further by doing HIIT before weight lifting.
I heard tht by doing cardio, there are chances of burning muscle. How true isit?

Most of my friends said my body really transform alot, but i am not happy at all because I feel my chest muscle is hardly growing, so is it because of the cardio or not enough protein intake?
I have 6-7 meals a day.

Brkfast- 3eggs white
2nd breakfast- 3scoop oats + 1scoop protein

snack ( around 10am)- Handful of raisin with 1 green apple

Lunch- Basically i will eat alot broccoli here with either chicken/ beef or fish

snack 2- Red kidney bean + 1 green apple

preworkout- Plain brown rice (50g if not mistaken)

Postworkout- 2 scoop protein shake

Before bedtime- Any type of fruits

it is not protein problem,
u not eating enough calories, mate.
u cant gain muscles and loss fat in sametimes.
to gain muscles, u need to eat calories surplus, to loss fat u need calories deficit.
well, do u read the 1st page of this section till end of this page? there alot information and experience u may get from there.
u need add ur calories intake and watch ur macro too if u wan to gain muscles.

Thanks for the info

I am confuse on the calories surplus, isnt more calories intake turn to fat?

ya it will if u took excessive calories intake. by gain muscles, u may gain fat too. tat why most BBer trying gain muscles but keep fat gain on minimum. they also keep cycle cutting and bulking phase. u can add ur calories by 500kcal 1st and see. different ppl different reaction, if u see no grow, mean u need extra more, if u see u gain fat faster then u may reduce ur calories let said 300kcal.

it is about trial and error, it take time but it is a fun progress. u may find wat ur body respond to.u can maintained ur daily calories intake and grow muscles too, but it might slow.
