Welcome to the forum! :)

While I agree (of course) that one has to eat and be in a surplus in the attempt to gain quality tissue, I do not agree with eat, eat, and eat some more philosophy with a person new to fitness and dieting.

This can be misunderstood and lead to far too much fat weight gain which in turn could be detrimental to a persons goal and switch off motivation in what the person wants in progress.

I suggest you determine your caloric MT Line, and begin experimenting with modest surpluses and watch your body's response, and adjust the eating surpluses as you move along--to avoid the possiblity of accumulating too much fat tissue (if this is a major concern to you).

==========================================================

In order to attempt to put on quality muscle mass and stave off as much fat tissue gain as possible. It begins with knowing yourself and your personal calorie requirements and manipulating the calories correctly in conjunction with proper stimulus and manipulation in fitness training.


I wish you the best in all that you do in life and in fitness,

ROCK ON! :)
