When I’ve tried to bulk in the past, I’ve just ended up putting on fat instead of muscle even if I’ve not eaten sugar. So basically I’m just doing both. 3 weight sessions a week, 2 cardio/HIIT (5k on the rower/10k run). However I’m training for a half marathon at the moment. I’d honestly recommend trial and error. If you wanna cut down some fat further then see what carbs you can cut from your diet. If you want to bulk, add them back in.
