Should I worry about gaining fat while bulking, since you can’t turn fat into muscle?

You shouldn’t be gaining more than .5lb/week or 2lbs/month if you want to minimize fat gain.

You will gain fat on a bulk.

It's easier to take off fat than put on muscle. It's also easier to take off fat the more muscle you have. But it's summer (in the Norther Hemisphere anyway), so maybe don't bulk until the Fall

Clean bulk. An hour of hard lifting only burns 300 calories. Don’t over do it. Same discipline as when you are cutting.

What's your current weight/height, how long have you been lifting?

If you're completely new and skinny, dont worry yet, just put on weight.

Get lean first. Then bulk up.
