I work out maybe 5 out of 7 days.. and I'm talking a minimum of 30 minutes of intense cardio, bpm's above 150.. 3 days i'm going to hour-long 'core-sculpt-yoga' which at 93 degrees inside is some of the most intense exercise i've ever done.. and end up leaving near palpitations every time..
On top of all of that work, I *hardly eat anything at all* .. I might take in 2000 calories in a day, but it's typically far less.. a lot of it is also in liquid form, which I know isn't great.
The point is, I've actually gained weight in the past couple of years. Sure, my muscle mass has increased slightly with all of the exercise.. but fat around my midsection has stayed and/or slightly increased. AND IT HAS CONFOUNDED ME TO NO END .. How does someone hardly eat anything at all (but potentially eats poorly, not fatly, but poorly when he does) and who works out more than regularly .. manage to gain weight and maintain or gain fat ??
So I am trying now to eat regularly throughout the day, and we'll see what happens.. Drinking protein shakes every few hours, etc.. to really test this theory on myself.
