I started properly lifting and dietting in around March 2012. At that stage I weighed just 142/3 lbs at a height of around 6ft/6ft1. I was massively underweight and due to eating a lot more than I used to combined with the starting strength program i have been able to increase my weight to 175 lbs.
However, my reason for posting this is that after looking at a bodyfat calculating chart I saw on this forum i would put myself at around 22/23% bodyfat because i am carrying quite a bit of weight on my stomach and hip region, which i have also noticed seems to have increased quite a bit recently. I am by no means fat because my bulk hasnt been really dirty but I would prefer a smaller waist, without muffin tops.
I am wondering if i need to make any adjustments to my diet, which i will be posting below. I basically want to check whether im on the right lines and continue with my bulk as I am or if i should look to shed a bit of the fat i have gained so far by changing something within my diet.
Myfitnesspal records this as 3722 calories, 429g carbs (61g sugars), 265g protein, 103 fat (25g saturated)
Any help is much appreciated.
