I need some serious help. All of my fat gain has been going straight to my butt. It is getting ridiclious huge ever since I begin my diet. There has to be cultprit in my diet for that, maybe too much fat or carbs. My diet is for bulking up, yet this fat gain is very discouraging to do that. I have been doing this for two months now. Previously I have been eating so much simple carbs (for morning and post work out periods) with fruits so I cut out half of them and replace them with complex carbs and overall reduce carb ratio. That does not seem to help much. My diet is listed below. I currently weight 142 pounds, up from 137 three months ago. I could've of sworn 3.5-4 pounds of it went directly to my ass. Heck, they'd be perfect for any woman wanting C size boobs. What to do?! I need advices!

I work out daily. Three-four times (depending on the day of the week I start, Sunday or Monday) a week on regular spilt body bulding and on non-bodybuilding work out days-I work on my legs. On legs day, I have been doing HIIT by running. I will begin adding squat, dumbells exercises, machines, etc to work on my legs and butt overall next week. Will that help or, as I'm thinking, will only serve to build muscle in butt but not getting rid of fat. I have been doing this for two months so far.

pictures would be good

hwo much do you weight?

and you can't really spot reduce
 
Im sorry dude I dont mean to laugh but the way you told that story was classic.
Just finishin up bulkin myself, I would definetely implement what you said on legs day, deads, squats, lunges, etc. Even if you build muscle like you stated, that is the goal in the long run. And muscle burns fat so maybe that will workout for you with a little time. If your at 142 now, your intakes are a little high for my likings. Im 184 and i take in just over that in protein grams and it has been sufficient for my bulk. Your almost doubling your body weights intake. Perhaps your taking in more than you should be at your body weight.
What about besides your butt ? Are you gainin muscle or fat, and at what part of your body are you seeing the gains ? Could it be that you are focusing more on upper body and the lower part of your body is storing all your excess intake ?
Answer a couple of the ?'s and maybe you can find logic on why this is happening to you. Best of luck.
 
You are eating more than you need, period. If you take in more than you need, it is stored as fat. You do not decide where the fat goes, it just goes where your genetics and hormones decide. Eat less. The goal of bulking is to gain muscle, not fat. If you're gaining max muscle, then the fat will come. Its not what you're eating, its how much.
 
Are you a man? Your name suggests a man, but the boob thing threw me off.

3600 kcal / day sounds like a lot for a 140# man, even one who works out daily. Your basal metabolic rate (bmr) is age dependent and you didn't provide your age.

Find out your BMR and I think you'll see, as the others have mentioned, that you are far exceeding your BMR, even for a bulking diet.
 
Thanks to everyone for responding.

I am twenty-one years old. It's strange you people said this is too much as in other thread on the same site here, they said it was fine.

My apology for the "cruel" joke regarding boob thing....man humor, I'm sure you can forgive that.

Maybe I should reduce to 3500 calories or 3400? What do you suggest the ratio of protein/fat/carbs should be?

My current ratio for protein is 1.6 times my body weight. This is so that i can consume less fat or carbs, which is more likely to contribute to body fat than protein would. Maybe I should reduce it to 1.4.

I have not really notice too much of fat gain on my upper body, it has been relatively increasing leaner in muscle with a bit of fat on top of it, a little bit of fat tummy when sitting. It is quite possible that I have not been focusing enough on my lower body which resulted in more fat gain down there.

God I have to cover my huge butt with sweater or jacket from now on. Thank god it's Fall afor few months and then winter time now. I used to have this problem in the past, a year and a half ago but then, I was at 180, mostly fat and my butt used to be huge but at least it didn't look outrageous in comparsion to my currently lean body. I got rid of my fat body though a very strict, caloric defiect diet for few months and daily running, little to no carbs which also resulted in loss of some muscles. I didn't get rid of my butt fat but it got reduced big time.
 
Now your on the right track. I would take cals down a bit more and protein will be sufficient at 1.2 on a good bulk at your weight.
If it was said on another thread that those numbers were ok, keep in mind, that individual may not have had your "specific problem" if you will. Also keep in mind everybodys body responds differently and what works for some may not for others, but im also not sure what thread your referring to. Was that person 142 and on a bulk ? And also alot of people dont have the guts you have to say the problems they may be having. Good luck okay !
 
What's of carbs and fat? What should the ratio be?

How much of carbs should consists of complex and simple? Is little bit of complex carbs every meal better than having most carbs in two meals alone (morning and post work out?)

I will reduce to 3500 calories. I also admit that I cheat occasionally so from now on, it's completely my diet for the next two months without any day off from diet or cheating.

When is the best timing to weight scale my weight for most accurate? It seems in the morning your body would falsely weight few pounds more because of body being stiff.

I'm hoping to gain 1.2 pounds per week.
