Title says it all, i want to lose weight and also build some muscle, ive have been hitting the gym and cutting my calories by 500-900cal for the past two months, while i am seeing some muscle growth, its not very substantial or something people around me will notice, ive also lost about 2kgs which is not much so i am thinking of doing a 200cal surplus for a month to see how it goes I wanted to get some advice as well as read other people’s experiences

I use my fitness pal (doesn’t it include cooking oil and condiments) to track calories and cross check sometimes with google as well, however i will say that most of the time i mantained a deficit of about 500, but there were days were i did 900, i shoud’ve worded it a little better, but about the weight, i asked my coach as well and he said not to worry as muscle in denser than fat, so it may look like i have lost more weight than i thought as i wouldve gained some in muscle mass

I will keep a closer eye on the tracking though…
