how do you explain me

[keliska]

I'm confused of me. I'm on cutting diet, my calorie intake is + -1200 I'm 5'6" 108 lb. I have 130 g protein, 100g carbs and almost 20g fat I'm eating no processed food. And today I measured me and in my waist is more inch {1,5inch} than before,and on my scale was today 110 pound, how do you explain me, why I gaining instead of losing. Maybe before cutting diet I don't eat so much protein, it's true that now I lifting more weights than before...so is it possible that I increasing muscle? What happening with me??
My eating plan is:

1. 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, 3-4 egg whites, 1/2 apples
2. 20 g protein, veggies, 3-4oz sw. potato, 1 littel plum
before workout
3. 20 g protein { cottage chees}+ 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal {1/4 cup dry}
4. 25 g protein shake + veggies { 1/2 green peppers}
5. 25-30 g protein{chicken, fish, tuna..}+veggies
before bed
6 .20 g protein shake

I forgot fat source is peanuts and PB or almonds

I don't have an explanation, however I don't see any reason for you to even BE on a cutting diet. I've seen your pics and based on your height, you're very very thin.

If you've been working out, the weight gain could be muscle or could be water. I gain 5 lbs of water during the "monthly" time. You look like you're eating well.

thanks a lot, I want littel bit increase muscle I know that I'm thin, but I think that I have problem with water retention or bloating maybe I'm eating too much veggies such as broccoli , cabbage...
One more question if I decide increase muscle how many calories is good for me??

That's impossible to tell you. Every single person on the face of this planet is different as to how many calories they should eat in a day.

Every single woman on this planet also has water retention. No matter what you do or eat, you will retain water. It's your nature as a woman. Stress & hormones cause you to retain water!

Keep the veggies in your eating plan tho.....
