Hello everyone!
I know this topic is pretty much worn out but I really need a personal assessment from you guys.
I feel like I'm skinny fat because of my flabby body and the problem areas while at the same time being very light weight.
(Weight: 52 kg/ 115lbs, Height: 166cm/ 5'5).
My original plan was to loose the extra amount of fat and then build muscle but after a few posts on bodybuilding.com I am not sure anymore. Many members have advised me to build muscle instead of loosing weight. It got me thinking and I searched online and found that yes if you are not that fat apparently you should rather gain muscle.
Still, do you think in my specific case it would be more beneficial to gain muscle now without worrying about fat loss?
I have to say that I am really terrified of gaining more fat since I have never been much bigger or heavier in my life and I am afraid if I gain too much I will never get it off again and look worse than before :( .
I'm not afraid to gain weight, just to gain fat.
They say the fat becomes less noticeable if you have muscle but does it apply to women as much as to men? At the point I am now I can hardly imagine gaining enough muscle in order to get it to show through the fat pads.
Another point would be that I currently have no acces to a gym. I do eventually want to go there but at the moment it is not possible for me. I mostly do bodyweight exercises and use ankle weights.
I am currently still at a caloric deficit, eating 1250 - 1350 a day, exercising 4-5 times a week.
I worry that I can't keep up with a caloric surplus with my kind of training. Most of the time I am really confused about all this stuff because I just have the internet to "teach" me so bare with me please.
I have more pics in my gallery for better estimation.
So once and for all, what would you do?
Thanks!
