Macro suggestion on purely cutting fat and dropping pounds?

High protein moderate fats and low carb works wonders for me. Eat protein to fat in a 2:1 ration with minimal carbs. You could do 300g protein/150g Fat with little to no carbs and still be around 2550 cals. And you can adjust calories from that marker.

I'm just gonna send it.

If you're gonna send it that's awesome that's what I did and I listened to everything that was suggested on here. I also posted every single thing that went into my body and all workouts. I'd post all your supps for us too in your log updates in a list so we can see what you're using.

Good protein. I'd transfer those carbs over to fat and have fat at 80g with carbs being minimal. That would keep you around 1800 cals. Again that's what works for me and I can still go heavy in the gym too.

 

[LevButlerov]

That psyllium is a tough one to get down, ill just throw it in my protein. So you think with my ldl at 159 and hdl at 18 I could finish this cycle? @LevButlerov

In your protein? that's going to make the protein thick no? @Warthog603

I dont think hdl or ldl is an issue for bodybuilders, just add fish oil and you GTG.

Good level but you need to bump the protein up

 

[HarleyGuy]

Haha yes LOVE IT! Get that protein up and the rest of your calories from fat.

Protein KING is in your grasp just push to 400

@Warthog603 Take pics and give them no choice but to give you the badge and shoot for 600-800g/day. When Lev mentioned it to me I went apeshit and found out that it works really well with my body too. EVO is full of surprises like that. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing! Be the protein KING @Warthog603 and watch the fat melt off too!

I dont see many people doing them, ill even do a bunch unweighted in-between compound sets just to keep bloods in all my leg

yeah a lot of people at the gym really don't know what they are doing lol

I still cant find pressed cottage cheese, but i have a cup of lowfat cottage cheese with a jocko protein shake with some frozen bananas in the blender.

 

[Warthog61]

I dont think hdl or ldl is an issue for bodybuilders, just add fish oil and you GTG.

added in fish oil, powder psyllium and bergamot. I usually pound the shakes anyways, the shaker helps

Strong split keeping the session tight after early cardio. Pressing with 50s for 3x12 shows good shoulder recovery, and pairing laterals with tricep extensions keeps joint load balanced without overusing the front delts.

Next round, add one heavier top set on the dumbbell press around 55–60 lbs for 8–10 reps to build more density.

Good flow and load balance here. The bent rows at 135 lbs for 8–9 reps hit the lats hard so keep 1 top set at 145–155 lbs next time and maintain the back-off at 90 lbs for 12 to keep quality. Swings as a finisher are solid conditioning; if grip fades, drop reps to 30-20-15 and push the tempo instead of load.

On it! Another thing I noticed. When I'm taking a shower and scrubbing my armpits, they feel deeper, like there is more meat on the back side

That's a classy looking meal man, nice work.

Your supplements look well thought out too. Very similar to mine but I'm missing some key stuff. I'm looking to experiment with collegen in my egg-shakes soon, it sounds very interesting and seems to be in vogue in mainstream New Zealand at the moment, my parents are even taking it.

I love ground sirloin. Chickens are laying again so it's nice to have some fresh eggs, they tend to slow when they are moulting. Such a difference from store bought

Ohhhh yeah absolutely man. If they're outside pecking around they atcually get a lot of insects in their diet and it changes the nutrient content of their eggs big time.

I didn't pick up that you had chickens, that's very cool man - that's the sort of thing I'm into. Do you live in a rural area?

Yeah somewhat small farm town but growing too fast. All my good hunting spots are either new developments or the land is posted and will eventually be developed. Luckily I have 100 acres right behind me of conservation land

@Warthog603 can never go wrong with kettlebell work!

 

[Warthog61]

Haven't eaten all day. Was up all night on the toilet. Have felt bloated past couple days. Stomach noises and bubbling. Liquid diarrhea no good. Burping taste like eggs

The only thing that has changed in the past week was the addition of 5000mg fish oil, citrus bergamot and psyllium husk powder as opposed to capsules

That combo likely upset your gut, especially switching to psyllium powder with that much fish oil. Drop the psyllium for a few days, cut fish oil back to 2–3 g, and hydrate well until digestion normalizes.

Once stable, reintroduce fiber slowly at half dose and keep citrus bergamot as is. @Warthog603

[Warthog61]

No training or work today. Starting to think I have food poisoning. 2nd night In a row I was in bathroom every half hour Staying hydrated with water and electrolytes. Took today off from all supplements and trying to push this thru, thinking either a bad egg or bad beef on Wednesday, I've lost about 6lbs water weight. Can't wait to not feel like shit

Rough couple of days but sounds like you’re doing the right thing resting and hydrating. Add activated charcoal and probiotics daily with psyllium husk until digestion resets, it’ll help clear things faster and settle your gut.

Good session considering you’re run down, smart move to keep it short and controlled. Push work looks solid and the volume’s enough to keep muscle on until you’re back to full strength.

I had switched to Reta, but honestly, I felt better on a low dose of Tirz. Less bloating and more consistent bowel movements. I’m not blaming Reta at all, as this could just be a fluke infection that triggered colitis, which is new to me.

I’m out of the hospital now. They pumped in a lot of fluids and antibiotics. Bloodwork has leveled out, enzymes look good, and hematocrit is back down to 45.

I’m on a light-fiber GI diet for the next week, and they said I can return to my normal diet after that. I’ll follow up with my primary to see if Tirz is something I can go back to, since that seemed to work best for me.

Unfortunately, I had to end my 12-week cycle at 9 weeks, which is a bummer since it was my first cycle and things were going well. Current program is 60mg Test 2x/week. I cut Anavar early, really liked the strength gains and overall feel on it, but not sure orals are a good fit moving forward with these GI issues. I’ll revisit that once I know more. I haven’t reintroduced all supplements yet, waiting until I finish the antibiotics. I’m not a fan of them either, but they did help. Starting back with some light training and cardio tomorrow. @LevButlerov

Glad you’re out and recovering well with labs steady and hematocrit back to 45. Stay on the light fiber diet until digestion stabilizes then reintroduce normal meals slowly to gauge tolerance.
Since you got antibiotics, you should be adding probiotics 3x/day with each meal and add fermented foods.

Hold test at 60 mg 2x/week and skip orals until the GI tract is fully normal again.
Tirzepatide sounds like the better fit for you so review dosing I would go lowest possible dose. @Warthog603

Back session looks good with strong volume on rows and pulldowns. Keep barbell rows at 155 lbs for 3x8-10 next time and progress the curls by 5 lbs once you hit 12s clean.

Diet looks good and digestion should rebound fine as you raise macros slowly.
The test cyp and tirzepatide dosing are both in safe ranges so hold steady until appetite and energy fully return.

@Warthog603 Overall the food looks fantastic. Just make sure on that Greek yogurt you're getting raw yogurt. Most of the time yogurt is really not good. It's pasteurized and they add sugar to it.

I haven't had a good bowel movement in a couple days but I had absolutely nothing in my body prior. I took a very small dose of psyllium husk tonight and will slowly add more fiber in diet. It could be these antibiotics they gave me, probably wreaking havoc on my good gut bacteria. Doc said to do them for 10 days but i'm honestly not a fan of them., may do another day or two but that's it

Good leg and shoulder combo. The 500 kg press and 65 lb dumbbell presses are solid, and the sauna with halo treatment sounds perfect for recovery.

Add the second leg day like you mentioned, 1 quad focused and one hamstring focused, it will help balance development.

Keep adding fiber slowly with psyllium husk while you finish the antibiotics to keep your digestion on track. You need to be doing probiotics and digestive enzymes ED. @Warthog603

At 4 eggs, 2 scoops whey, and steak plus rice through the day, you’re feeding the recovery right in the 220–240 g protein range, though I think 280 is more your level @Warthog603

Your log is killing it bro. Ive been reading through it while in the sauna. I need to step my shit up haha. Keep up the good work.

Thanks brother. Looking forward to seeing your progress as well. A lot of us are similar and have been thru a lot of ups and downs. We are all here to support one another, getting back control of our lives.

@InstallsPipe consistency is key, diet and recovery. You just have to find what works for you and get in that groove

Going into my 2nd week of trt, feeling a little flat. I've lost the last hole in my pant belt but scale still hasn't moved. Hopefully within a few weeks I can start dropping noticable weight, I assume the 400 test and var stalled actual weight loss and have been in a recomp. Rolling with the punches. Going to incorporate more cardio, adding GW next week.

Good warmup session. RDLs and curls hit it right! and 45 min cardio is legit, keep doing it.

2nd week TRT flatness is normal while levels stabilize, so the added GW will help energy, but usually you can wait until week 4 to feel it, what did you get your dose to this week on TRT?

I wont lie 400 a week was so awesome tho. Great strength gains and just all around good feeling. A good experience aside from getting sick at the end. I learned I'm a great responder to test with minimal aromatization. Followup with my doc tomorrow, hopefully it was just a random infection and it's nothing long term.
