I mean, yeah a bit of fat would be neat too. But I find that just as hard to put on as muscle. Holy hell I don't think I could take in any more food than I already do, idk where it all goes!

there is a theory that lean mass hyperresponders only take what they need, while discarding what they dont need. so for you, calories in = calories out doesnt count at all.

no. you need fat AND protein to build muscle. the fat you eat doesnt get turned into fat; it gets turned into buildings blocks for your body. fat is hugely important in building all kinds of things. as is protein.
