Ive always been confused about this topic. If you eat more than you burn, you lose weight. If you eat more than you burn, you gain it... Yeah, makes sense. To gain mass you eat, eat, eat. Workout HARD++, gradually adding more weight ( if you are pyramiding ). And to get massive ( which is similar to getting fat ) you would have to eat more than you burn. But, wouldnt that hence forth, make you kinda fat? Ive told myself Yes, and No... Im really confused on the topic. In order to get bigger would I have to eat ALOT ( sacrifice alot of tone? ) and then cut back down... Or would eating ALOT, doing ALOT of cardio, with intense weight training NOT put fat around the mid section n such? Or how about eating alot... with some ECA? Would that burn the fat while gaining the muscle mass? Someone give some suggestions.
