Yeah, I do understand that number of calories affect weight gain
and weight loss, so does the diet you are following (because muscle
weighs more than fats; different types of food can affect our
metabolism).
I have been experimenting with my body for quite some time with
different types of diet. I wish to gain some weight as healthy
muscle mass but it seems quite tough. I don't really know how much
calories I need but I tend to overeat at times without any weight
gain(I think that's my body's way of telling me I need more
calories?)
I am an endurance athlete and I do include strength training
(alternate days) into my exercise regime for muscle mass gain. I
tried to go on a high protein diet but it seems like I cant perform
as well during my runs. A high fat diet seems ok but a high
carbohydrate diet is the best (especially if i eat junk biscuits
-_-). However, even after increasing my protein intake while
substaining a high carbo diet, I failed to gain weight.. (sometimes
i eat up to 3000 calories daily but still no weight gain..)
Should I cut down my weekly mileage from 90+km to 80 or up my
protein intake? Will cutting down affect my performance?
