I am getting chubby

[powerhouse972]

I am currently training naturally eating 3500 - 3700 calories a day (350 pro, 350 carbs, 75 fat) I am gaining good but my waist is going up too. I am not doing anycardio right now and think i should start now to make it easier to diet later. How much should i do? I was considering 2x week 20min after workout.

hard to say,when im bulking I have to do 3 times a week 45mins on a stationary bike at med intensity or I get chubby also,its also good for your respiroty system so its use to cardio at the new weight you are adding, I learned the hard way on my first cycle

We for ME this would work....

I would reduce carbs to a smaller percentage of total calories and increase protein.

I gain too much fat when on a 40% carb diet and not using gear. Personally, I can get by with 60% protein, 25% carbs, 15% fat and still gain modest mass without really adding much of any fat. While 70% protein, 20% fat, 10% carbs seems to get rid of fat on me. The type of carbs are really important in my case too...

A little cardio won't hurt but cut the carbs to 150 grams and allow your fat intake to increase by 400 hundred calories, see if this change in diet helps.

I gain very easy if I ever go over 350 of carbs. And your just going to have to play with the cardio, do what you think you need to do for the first couple of weeks if it is not enough then up the cardio to what ever is needed........TAPOUTM

formula

maybe try playing around with your macro-nutrient intake as far as carbs amd protein. You could also try reducing your carbs on your off days. cardio is always a good idea IMO.

You probably need to play around with your carb intake a little as mentioned above. Everybody is different and each responds to carbs differently.

i like keeping my carbs around 200 pro 400-500 and using olive oil for my xtra cals........i maintain with 3500-4000

I agree, reduce carb intake. then add a little cardio at a time to get rid of what you already gained. Just go for short periods pre-workout (10 to 15 min) and then keep your work out at a good level of intensity and you should notice a nice fat decrease without muscle loss.
