A bit discouraged
Yes, Paper, try to eat more. When you are doing lots of exercises at
least eat to the minimum for your weight!!! I think you should be eating quite a bit more than that, but that is just me.

It's my understanding that building muscle is incredibly difficult. We can shape
and tone our muscles, but adding muscle weight is a very lengthy and difficult process. I highly doubt that anyone will see an increase in muscle weight in less than many months time. What you may be seeing though, is water retention. When you work those muscles, they will retain water to help them heal (I think Lesanne and Ray are extremely good at explaining this). I know I have been exercising much more in the past month and like you I don't seem to eat enough either, yet my weight doesn't change significantly. My shape is changing and my clothes are getting looser. It's hard to not focus on the number the scale throws out at us, but give it some time and I'm sure you will start seeing some great losses again.
