“I WANT TO GAIN MUSCLE BUT DONT WANT TO GAIN ANY WEIGHT.”

I hear this statement many times until I explain how illogical it is.
OR “I want to lose weight” but then the person wonder why they really are just a smaller softer version of themself.

Wanting to GAIN MUSCLE without gaining any weight is  crazy thinking. You want to ADD TISSUE to your body and the addition of tissue- be it fat or muscle- means adding WEIGHT. 

Think about it: if you GAINED fat you would expect to gain weight wouldn’t you?

In truth muscle tissue is more dense than adipose tissue so if you’d expect to gain weight by gaining fat then you can expect you’d gain some weight if you plan to gain muscle.

Amd to truly change your body SHAPE we need to change both muscle and fat.
