[quote=Anonymous]wow so much misinformation on here...

1.  fat and muscle weigh the same, muscle is more dense and thus takes up less space, but a pound is a pound.

2. The only weight to gain fat or muscle is to eat in a calorie sur plus. If you eat at maintenance or in a deficit you can not gain muscle, that is the law of thermodynamics. Now you can do as someone mentioned above you can do some body recomp, that is trading fat for muscle, but this take a while. Like when you see people who weight more but are smaller because of muscle it has likely taken them year to see these results.

Now things there were correct.. when you start lifting heavy the scale will go up because you will retain more water.  This it not the same as gaining fat and will level out after a few pounds vs continuing to increase.

If you are more hungry then focus on protein. Binging on other foods like pizza when you follow hunger cues typically means you are overly restricting which lead to this sort of binge behavior.

Oddly enough lifting does not make me as hungry as doing a lot of cardio, but everyone is different.
