I’ve been working out consistently for ~6 months. I wanted to take it a little more seriously and started dieting and taking supplements. I cut out ~500 calories a day (was eating a small meal after work every day), added 30 grams of protein to my diet, and started taking 7.5 grams of creatine a day. long story short in the last month and a half i’ve gained 8 pounds(192-200). should i even worry about it? the areas i’ve wanted to lose weight in seem slightly leaner and my upper chest and legs seem more defined. any advice?
