Issue with TRT and hunger

[AGutierrez1980]

So my test levels were tanked for a long time, been on trt (125mg/wk split into two doses) for a while now and feeling an amazing difference in my mood, energy etc.

One big issue though is that my appetite is insane. I typically maintain what I consider a good off-season weight (about 12% b/f) on about 3000kcal...... thats what I'm doing right now but it's not filling me up at all, I think I could easily do 4000.

Is this just a hunger increase or an overall metabolic increase? My real worry is that I usually dip down to 1800-2000 to cut and right now I can't even imagine doing that, I'm already ravenously hungry as is.

I have the same problem man, i typically find. The less gear i am, the bigger my appetite is.

It seems very similar to when dieting, the hunger is just crazy even though like you say, you are sticking to a fairly decent amount of calories. Makes it even worse when it comes to cheat meal days as i feel like i can go through a whole frikkin house lol

I really don't know a way of combatting it apart from sucking it up lol, maybe add volume to your meals with lots of veggie and salad?

Same here. Less gear bigger appetite. And I can eat more and not put on weight. Which is fine with me.
