Hey guys, quite new here, been taking my time reading up on the forums and just gaining a lot of insight from you all
A little about myself body wise, 25\M I haven’t got a dexa scan done, or calipers to truly determine my BF Percent, but visually which I know isn’t a great method I’m assuming around 25 percent is where I’m sitting, I’ve lifted for three years and can tell I’ve created foundation muscle wise, but I’m kinda in a stump about determining my caloric intake. My waist is about 32In, weight is 190, I’ve been on a cut now for about nearly 2 weeks now, I’m sitting at 2500 calories, macro wise it goes by day for me, protein is always spot on at about 210-220
As for fats and carbs, I go by how I feel, typically if I’m feeling more drained one day over the other I’ll add more carbs that day, typically next day I’ll feel more energized so I’ll add more fats and less carbs, this could be hindering me but I’m not entirely sure.
Couple other things to add, I typically get 15k-20k steps a day, one day might be less at 7k-9k steps, I work out 6 days a week, having one rest day which typically lands on Wednesday, I’ve tried my best to determine where my maintenance is which I’m thinking it’s 3k-3.1k calories, I definitely could be overestimating or underestimating, I’m just trying to look for a critique, am I doing something wrong, am I following the right direction? I would also add I’m prescribed TRT 200mg a week, pinned twice a week at 100mg, probably the best I’ve felt in years.
Any help would be great, thanks again!
