How do you know when to adjust your calories?

[nutrition_110]

If my goal is to build muscle while limiting fat gain, how do I know when to increase or decrease my calories? Is it just based on the # of the scale, or are there other factors?

Track your weight waist hunger and gym performance together one bad week doesn't mean anything. Consistent trends tell you when it's time to change calories

I pay more attention to strength gains and recovery than just scale weight. small adjustments based on overall progress work best

Honestly, don't obsess over the scale. Track your waist, progress pics, strength, and how your clothes fit. The scale is just one piece of the puzzle.
