Alright so I’m gonna eat to gain weight. What’s all this talk about body composition. I can’t burn fat while eating more. So i’ll gain more muscle making my body more composed of muscle but I’ll still have fat but look better?
Kinda what I’ve done. I’m a newb in search of his desired body as well 
My BF % has gone down a couple percent but not enough to notice. But I have gained a decent amount of muscle, which helps offset the extra fat. Last dexa had me at 18% I believe and before that was 20% I think. Carrying a little more muscle between those readings but the fat looks the same.
This is an absolute number. Body fat percentage is a relative number.
Perhaps you could gain lean body weight and maintain your absolute body fat. Your relative body fat percentage on this new, more muscular, body would then be lower.
You are going to eat to support your training.

*Fixed.
Yes.
And you’re starting school in the next few days, which means having a weight room again and a more comprehensive training plan, right? So only good things are on the horizon.

I’d love to watch how that progresses. Definitely make sure you have a solid plan for the diet, because it’s gonna be a LOT of cooking and eating, haha.
Planning it out in detail now is probably not a great idea, but here are my current thoughts on the matter:
Life in December will be pretty representative of life in January, so I’ll note down what I am consuming then. BBB-BC might be comparable in workload to what I am currently doing, and might be able to continue eating as I am doing at that time.
BtM already has prescribed eating, 12 eggs + 1.5lbs ground beef (raw weight presumably) is more than enough fats for my current size even if using the leanest beef I can find (5%). That would tally in at roughly 1800 calories. Remaining calories, carbs.
Then, Deep Water, replace those carbs with more protein.
If scale weight drops, or stalls for two weeks, increase calories.
You’re going to add more protein in top of 1.5lbs of ground beef and 12 eggs? That’s already a lot of protein.
Protein and fats then ;D
That’s pretty much my plan after this fall/early winter while I’m running Nutty’s program.
A companion appears! I might continue running Nutty’s though, it’s nice and I have a real-life gym partner that joined in this week. If progress is being made, and I’m not mentally understimulated there is no real argument for changing it up except that it might be fun (hell) and a learning experience.
Hahaha yes.
How long have you been on Nutty’s? I just started this week.
Three weeks or so.
@T3hPwnisher did you follow the ground beef and eggs diet? How did you feel?
I had 8-12 eggs a day and 2-2.5lbs of meat. Sometimes it was ground beef, but sometimes it was ribs, steak, roast, etc.
Felt fine. I ate hard boiled eggs, since they were the easiest to make. Sugar free BBQ sauced helped them go down.

Was anyone ever willing to walk behind you?
I’m not afflicted with the gastrointestinal issues that many seem afflicted with as it relates to eggs or protein consumption. I like to attribute it to my emphasis on eating vegetables as well, which may create a better gut environment.

Fair enough. I suppose I could try this “vegetable” concept you speak of.
Thanks!

Running it now or should you, me and @jshaving make it a community thing for 2020?
