Hi, I've been going to the gym for around six months and I'm not exactly glad about how my body has turned out but at the same time I am happy to see the gains no matter how small I've had.
I'm about 6'3 200lbs in my early 20s. I've been going to the gym consistently for around six months about four times a week. I train about two muscle groups each day. I do cardio each day I go to the gym, around 10-15 minutes before my workout each day.
My diet is not the best but I try to avoid fast food at all costs. Anything that's completely meaningless to eat such as fried food, but I do need help with a consistent diet that helps me build muscle and shed some fat. Not sure if doing both is possible. I also drink lots of water each day and consume organic protein since I'm lactose intolerant. About 40 grams of protein each day but sometimes I take two servings throughout the day which is about 75-80 grams of protein.
Now the dilemma I have is that after months my muscles seem to have grown at a considerably slow rate while my stomach fat has increased. I mean everything else literally has lost it's fat except for my mid area. I can proudly wear a tank top and show off my back, shoulders, and arms no problem. But my midsection along with my chest are taking the toll. I'll be sure to upload some pictures for you guys as well. Does anyone have any recommendations? At my wits end here watching my body gain muscle considerably slow and then my stomach get larger.
