I am having an issue with my weight and I am not sure what to do. I have changed my eating habits and I am eating every couple hours like magazines suggest. I have been taking multi-vitamins in the evening and fat burners in the morning, before breakfast (as recommended).  I also have protein shakes before and after my workout.  I also have 1 peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread as a meal every couple hours, interchanging with snacks of dried fruit (read that dried fruit can be beneficial to weight loss in a magazine article).  I have been doing strength training off and on for over a year and recently changed my routing when I bought a Bowflex.  Now I work out in the evenings which is more convenience since I work full time and I am working on my Bachelor’s Degree at night.  I have been noticing a steady increase in my weight as well as body fat.  I would be fine if my weight and b/f stayed the same but I am frustrated because it is going up.  I don’t understand why the bodyfat is going up as well.  Which means that I am not putting on muscle mass but I am just putting on fat.  WTF!  It is really discouraging.  I was wondering if anyone has any advice before I go crazy and lose my motivation.

Thanks in advance.
