Hi, I just lost 40 lbs, and now want to add muscle, but I'm afraid adding calories will make me fat again… Help

Hi Greg,
You will need to add weight lifting into your program. As Sue mentioned, heavier lifting will promote muscle building. You can do HIIT a couple days/week and then add some heavier lifting 2 more days into your weekly routine. Without knowing anymore information about you it’s almost impossible to give you specific answers. Get with a nutritionist or a dietitian and let him/her work on your diet to help you with your goals. I would also suggest to get with a certified Personal Trainer to help you with a more specific and individualized exercise program. All you are going to get from this forum are generalized answers. Hiring a trainer even for a few sessions could make all the difference.
Best,
Harris
