Just a quick tip for you today…
For Success in both burning fat and building muscle there something that you must be doing. That something is body monitoring. By this I mean taking your bodyfat and weighing yourself on a weekly basis.
My advice to you is to weigh yourself at the same time of day each week, preferably first thing in the morning before you eat, to give the most accurate results. You should also weigh on the same day each week, so that you can follow your progress on a week by week basis. The same goes for taking bodyfat measurement, take it on the same time, the same day each week.
There are many methods for taking your bodyfat, some more accurate than others. The important thing is that you use the same method each time, this allows you to monitor your progress more accurately. Having an exact precise measurement is less important than having a consistant one. My preferred method is by using a set calipers. They are cheap and convient to use, and give a fairly accurate reading when used properly.
By taking your measurements every week you can then see if you are putting on muscle or just fat, or if you are losing muscle rather than fat. If you are staying the same weight, if you are lucky you may see that you are actually losing fat and gaining muscle rather than having no results (If this were the case I would be very jealous! It is only certain lucky people that achieve this.)
If you have a fat loss or muscle building goal, body monitoring is a must for success. Also keep a diary of your results, so you can reflect back and see how far you have come.
