Been on here a while and never made an intro.

I’ve been on the grind for about 8 years.
33 years old, 6’1”, 220 pounds probably around 17% body fat currently. I work out about 4-6 days a week, I used to be super strict but since having my daughter I’ve been slacking some serious ass. Had a bad accident 7 years ago blew out a testicle, have been on TRT ever since. I was a member of SST for a long time, things were getting weirder by the day. Jumped on here and saw a very supportive and awesome group of brothers and decided to stay. Currently getting back on diet, back to the grind. Currently aiming for 280-350g of protein and 150g of carbs as a diet, trying to cut back down to 10-12% body fat. Looking forward to being a part of this community and getting to know you guys.

Welcome! My two cents off the bat is to keep the protein on the lower end of that range, unless that’s just what keeps you satiated better. 350g of protein is excessive as far as what’s viable for retaining tissue on a cut. I’d say 220-250 is more than enough

Yeah absolutely, I pulled my fitness pal up and that was those were the last macros I had in there . Good catch that is excessive!

 

[Sleezetoast]

What do you think on carbs is that a good place to be at?

What’s your daily macro/ calorie intake now? If you don’t know. Spend a few days-week logging all your intake. Food. Drink. Everything. That way you can know for sure where you are starting from.

I think carbs are subjective more to the individual. If you’re in the beginning of a cut, it keep your carbs as high as you can within your calories. As the cut goes on and you need to drop calories, then cut carbs down.

Your carbs now are kind of in the middle of the road. I would drop your protein down, how many grams you drop protein I’d add to carbs.

Welcome, sir.

Welcome!

Yeah, you’re excreting and hence wasting a significant portion of that protein at 220 lbs. Plus its gratuitously hard on your kidneys to process that much protein. 220-250g/day is IMHO perfect for your stats, just as @PNWmuscle said. As for carbs IMHO its whatever level you need to have the energy to sustain your workouts.

Currently 2800 calories. P245 C175 F124. It’s not 100% locked in I’m just getting back to it. That baby threw me off took all my energy. 1g of water a day, taking bcaas and fish oils as sups. Using a blend protein or whatever it’s called, the casein, egg and whey combo.

 

[Sleezetoast]

I plan on going back to carb cycling, 2 low days, two middle days and 2 high days. I can’t do imf it kills my workouts. I’ll be doing the old faithful var, test aro eod. I’m thinking of running clen at the end? I can not do tren, fucks with me too bad.
