re: Losing Body Fat While Gaining Muscle Mass

I’m struggling with this as well.

For reference: I’m an RN and use to work at an ASC. I got a new job where I work from home and am mostly sedentary during the day. When I switched jobs, we changed my caloric intake to try to compensate for the change in activity. My BMR is around 1200. My TDEE is supposedly 1800. I’ve been eating around 1500 calories a day but have still managed to gain fat while losing muscle. I do a 30 minute HIIT 3-4 times a week and a 60 minute strength training 2 times a week. I burn anywhere from 300-700 calories depending on what I do during my workout. Yes I’m sedentary now for work but I feel like I should still be at least losing fat. My BF has gone from 26% to 31%. I don’t know if I need to drop my calories even more or what.
