Macro Advice

[CockneyBoy7]

Hey guys, I have taken the time to sit down and create a diet for myself. I am looking to maintain muscle, maybe gain a little bit while still getting much leaner. I have kept calories quite reasonable due to i have not really dieted seriously before and form what i have read and researched I don't want to overload my metabolism and gain fat. I would like my body to adjust to these numbers and slowly increase them as my body learns to burn them off. any advice you can give please help!! I am running 5iu Rips a day and 100mg Test Prop a day. also I will be having a post workout shake that will be about 200 Cal, 50g Pro, 3g Carbs, 0g Fat plus a small Banana. Thanks ahead of time guys!! This forum is awesome and has helped me so much already!!! If there is anything I can do for any of you with your pets or medical advise please let me know!!

WHERE'S THE CARBS?!?!?!?!!?
I would wither away on that and/or feel like shit.
I don't think you will have any problem "burning off" that food.
post workout shake with no carbs?
why the carb prejudice?
