Gain: I need to know whether that weight gain was strictly muscle or some fat. Triglycerides tend to be very bodyfat responsive. If that is part of the answer, that there has been an increase in percent body fat, and then you need to continue your workout and diet so that you reduce your percent body fat to 15 - 22 as a goal. See my website and especially the "wellness numbers." HRS, MD, FACC
