So last year April- mid August I was cutting, i started at around 150 pounds and ended near130, so lost about 20 pounds. I wish I knew my bf% then but I'd say I was borderline lean. My abs were there when I flexed, but not so much when I was normal. I'm 5'7 and 18 years old. Been lifting a few years now.
ANYWAYS I really was just looking forward to bulking. I really wanted to build my legs and define my abs more, but overall just look more athletic. I ate a little too much I guess because I did gain fat. I'd say by the beginning of November (month 2) it was getting uncomfortable but I kept at the diet because I just really wanted to build the muscle and I knew 2 months was nothing. However, at 4 months I just couldn't deal with gaining anymore fat, and even if I bumped my cals down I'd still have the fat on me that I can't even stand right now.
So now I'm back cutting. I'm carb cycling, I'll attach the diet below. My questions are (and please don't make me feel like a dumbass for asking)
Can a female like myself build enough muscle within 4 months for it to be noticeable? I've had much more powerful lifts, increased weight and reps, felt great. I just don't want to hear I gained fat for absolutely nothing, but if it's the truth just lmk.
also, is this diet good enough for me to lose FAT and preserve as much muscle as possible. I want to look good and feel good, last cut diet had me lethargic by the middle/end. Cals next to food. I'm eating 1400-1600 a day. I eat more vegetables than put on here
