I have been trying to gain mass for over 4 months now, and to say the truth, I haven't been eating a whole lot. I've been getting 150 grams of protein and not much of carbs. Probably about 150 grams also. My fat intake is low. I have been seeing some strength gains, but I'm not sure about size. I have noticed that my face is getting a bit ckunkier. Could this be because I'm getting fatter or is there some type of food that makes you gain more weight from your face? I heard sodium does that, and I have been intaking quite a bit of sodium lately. Could that be why?
I'm 160 lbs now ( I was 150 about 3 weeks ago)and 5 8
Thanks for the posts

IF you gain weight, your going to gain it everywhere..........may want to go back and realy look at your diet carefully.

Everyone stores fat in different places first. I know myself I store it in my hips and abs first.

Bigandrew is right though, if your gaining you really should be eatting more. You totally need a snack between breakfast and lunch.

- Its never about how much you can lift or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it and doing it right.
- If your hungry all the time your not eating enough and anyways, being hungry sucks.
