Gaining Weight without gaining Fat

[Guest guest]

Peace to all,

 

I recently have been following a workout/eating routine where i'm

looking to gain muscle mass and size, and so far after about 2 weeks

i've gained 5 pounds. (by the way, the plan i'm following came from

the book titled Raw Power! 3rd edition by Stephen Arlin)

However, i've also noticed that my body fat percentage has gone up

considerably (even though i really don't trust the machine that i'm

using to measure that). According to the machine its gone from 7-8%

up to about 19%! Now again, i don't trust the reading too much on the

machine.

I'll assume that it may have gone up, but maybe not quite THAT much.

My question is if anyone knows of any routines where one can maintain

a 7-8% body fat and still gain " weight " ?

My educated guess would be that it's diet related. I've been eating a

lot more " good " fat with avocados, nuts, etc. But sometimes i feel

that i'm overloading on them and see myself overeating them at times,

and that can result in that body fat gain.

If anyone could help out, i'd greatly appreciate it.

 

 

PEACE
