Gaining weight but getting more toned?

Hey,
I’ve been working out more at the gym recently and have noticed that i’m either gaining/not losing weight, but overall my body is getting more toned. I mainly use the treadmill and cross-trainer at the gym about 3 times a week and am wondering if i’m just gaining muscle?

Any advice would be great!
Thanks.

It’s a strong possibility that what you are seeing is muscle gain and fat loss. True that muscle is more dense, hence heavier, than fat. So as you lose fat and build muscle you will see a change in body composition and appearance but may not notice a drop in weight. While I would be say that is true in your case, that is the most likely reason.

Thank you for your advice, i’ll keep an eye on my weight and body measurements over the next few weeks and see if I see any changes!

The basic diet for weight gain that should contain nutritious, high calorie foods, carbohydrate is also assential part for the weight gain,
The diet for the carbohydrate meal bread, potatoes, brown rice, pasta, couscous,fresh and dried fruit….

Barry is right. Just be sure to limit your fats and processed foods, and you’ll be on the road to losing weight and gaining muscle.

If you are happy with your progress, don’t sweat it…roll with it as your body might just be settling into your new phase. If you want to continue to challenge yourself, maybe look into how you can adjust your dietary needs to more closely map to your new level of activity and workout schedule!

Are you weighing yourself at the same time every day? Sometimes water weight can give you the illusion that you gained. Watch your sodium intake as this will cause your tissues to retain water.

That said, if you have been working out regularly it is likely that you are indeed gaining muscle. It is much more useful to watch your body composition (body fat %) rather than pay attention to the number on the scale. :)

We should start our gym workout from lighter weight to heavier weight.

I think that you may want to cut the weight training a little and add some pilates in. Pilates is known for building slim and sleek muscle and not bulking muscles. I would suggest eat mre protein contained diet. Good luck!

You are just gaining muscle weight; i appreciate your question and understand this confusion, giving the tons of info on weight loss and the myth that weight loss is associated with exercising which is totally wrong.

What actually happens when you do exercise, is your body burns the fats and the calories but adds a heavier weight of muscles instead making you gain weight only more but not in a fatty way, rather a fit shape and that is why you are seeing your body more tuned.

I keep hearing that muscle weighs more than fat so i decided to do some research here’s some useful info that i’ve found: http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_ar…

Every site i went on said that a pound is a pound and muscle does not weigh more than fat. Hope this helps!

We should always choose a healthy way to lose weight because with losing weight we should also keep health in our mind whom we should care for. For muscle gaining it is good to lose some weight for a balance body shape.

For a balanced body with proper exercise proper diet is also necessary. Walk is the best exercise for body fitness and weight loss. Old people can control their blood sugar and blood pressure with daily 20 to 20 min. morning walk.

There’s already been a lot of good advice given here, so I’ll simply confirm that yes, you probably have gained muscle and lost fat. Keep doing what you’re doing. Just make sure you’re eating cleanly.
