Hello all! I have been using huel since 18/ 02 now and am interested to see if there is anything I could be doing to loose weight and gain muscle. Height: 5’4 My starting weight was 60.3kg with body fat 30.1% I am 30 and lightly active. I rock climb once a week and have started jogging twice a week just round the block. I have been using 30g huel and half a banana in for breakfast and 50g huel with the other half banana for lunch. I usually have a healthy snack like vegetables or carrots and hummus and then have dinner as usual. My weight now is 59.1kg with body fat 25% ---

To gain muscle/weight you need to be in a calorie surplus, ie eating more than you burn. Combine this with exercise, specifically resistance training to build muscle. It doesn’t mention if you’re male/female but unless your dinner is mammoth I would hazard a guess that at the moment you aren’t eating enough calories to build muscle. Hope that helps 🙂 ---
