Alright, so I started hitting up the gym about a month ago, and I am putting on a little muscle, but I am also putting on a little weight (about 5lbs). My main goal is to trim up my midsection. Will I have to gain muscle first before i can cut, or will I be able to put on a little muscle while dropping fat? It seems to me by the science that building muscle and dropping fat would be mutually exclusive. So anyway, here is my routine and meal plan, critique away.
Edit: 6'4 195lbs 24% body fat
Meals:
Morning:steel cut oats, plain with splenda
lunch:chicken breast or turkey burger on wheat with mashed potatoes(plain) or mixed vegies
snack: strawberries or an apple
after gym: 2 scoop protein shake with water on monday/thursday
dinner: same as lunch
Routine:
Monday: 10m walk to warm up, DB press, DB flys, Incined press/flys, bicep curls, tricep press, sitting row, lat press
Tuesday: 10m walk to warm up legs and crunches
Thursday: same as monday
Friday: same as tuesday
