i am a male of 20. i have been going to gy for a while (3 years). after a lot of efforts i succeeded in gaining muscle mass as i ama eggetarian(no flesh) and it prooved harder then i thought. as a source of protein i have been having cheese in adequate amounts and some eggs to but not daily.but this winter i gaines weight around my belly and chest which i hate.the thing is if will try to cut my diet a bit then i may loose my hard earned muscles but i want to loose excess fat without loosing the muscle mass. shoul i continue having the cheese and eggs stuff while i am under the weight control period ar are they too fat increasing in nature that they may make t\my efforts to loose weight gain go in vain. please help me and even with additional tips if u can.
If you cut out cheese/eggs, you will lose muscle mass because protein is what builds tissue. Your cholesterol would go down, but that's not an issue that you wrote.
I'm sure that you COULD say that the cheese & eggs are causing weight gain, but only because of what you're eating them with.
If you're trying to lose weight, you shouldn't eat carbs & protein together. So if you eat eggs with cheese, and then an hour later, eat a piece of fruit/toast or something, that's not helping with weight loss.
I lost weight recently by just cutting out sugar & starch altogether & it was easy because I've always had issues with those types of carbs. But I will eat green beans & other vegetables that have carbs (excludes corn, potatoes, yams, peas.)
If you don't think you'll have an easy time doing that, then make sure carbs & protein are not consumed within a 2-3 hour period of each other.
