I can't believe how significantly red meat consumption affects my hematocrit and hemoglobin. Average is usually 48% 15g/dL in the offseason and that's with consumption of 1.5-2lbs of lean red meat/ day.
I'm currently deep in a prep and using EQ for the first time (800mg/ week), so I expected it to rise a bit, but it's down down significantly to 45% and 13.5g/dL respectively.
I know the EQ is legit because I had it tested. So I can attribute the decrease to the zero red meat during prep. It's been ground turkey breast and cod only for the past 8 weeks.
Just an observation for anyone interested.
