Do you gain weight when you work out?

Answer 1

You can gain weight for two reasons:

• Exercise burns calories and will increase your appetite. If you eat more than you need to compensate for the extra calories burned, you'll gain weight. You have to check your diet to make sure you're eating the right amounts of the right foods.
• Exercise builds muscle mass, which is more dense than fat so your weight may increase even though your body-fat level decreases.
