I am trying to simultaneously trying to lose fat and gain weight. The weight loss is my primary concern, so I have been watching my calorie intake and have cut it down enough to lose about 1.5 lbs a week.
However, at the same time I am hitting the weights as well. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, lift according to a particular plan, and then hit the cardio for about half an hour.
While my cardio has vastly improved I haven't seen the same gains on the weights. I am getting a little bit bigger, but I have been at this for almost 4 weeks and haven't seen any reasonable increases in the amount of weight that I am using. Although I am cutting calories, I am trying to make sure and consume a lot of protein.
Are these two goals just incompatible?
