you are correct. I got a few pictures when I woke up this morning. Attaching them with this post.
That's a food Idea, I will see what and how other's are posting and try to post accordingly.
You are correct, I am just not used to it tbh. in the past, I have always had food ready for me to eat and even food from outside was always full of nutrition. On top of all that, when I was in good shape I was lifting an hour in the gym and then MMA (my own training + teaching classes) over 3 hours a day so I could literally eat whatever.
I will keep on posting pictures of my food as I prepare and eat.
Posting them right now.
I will do that too. Got a back workout today so I will take a few. maybe make some Gifs... we will see.
YES SIR!!
You are correct, I think the more knowledge and tips and encouragement I can get the better.
Yeah I have always enjoyed MMA over running and cycling.
I am mostly eating chicken, eggs, some beef (I don't buy beef a lot of days) I always season my food as I do not like to eat bland or salt and pepper only food, Cottage cheese, bread (white bread and burger buns if I am making a burger), veggie blend to go with the protein or rice (I mostly always get basmati rice) if I boil them, air fried potatoes - When I am lazy and haven't cooked, I try to grab something as clean as I can, for example a subway or a sub sandwich, rice bowl from a local shop, or a tortilla shawarma wrap. On Saturday or Sunday, I tend to grab an ice cream along with a cheese burger or some fried chicken (although I am moving away from fried chicken as I don't feel good after eating it if it's not fresh).
I know it's not the best but this is what I am doing right now and I am trying to keep it as clean as possible.
In the past, when I was in super good fight ready shape - I noticed that when I would inject deep in the muscle twice a week, my levels would fluctuate and the soreness on the injection site was just nasty at times. From what I have read and seen online, people who have been micro dosing are keeping their levels on a smooth trajectory and the frequency of injection doesn't bother them as they aren't harpooning themselves every few days - Since I am also not looking to get on a full on cycle and just want to get my test level to a good healthy place (my recent test came back with 377 ng/dl, which I think is low) I think micro dosing would be the way to go.
Thanks man!
P.S. I am also attaching a few of my older pictures (from years ago) so I don't feel too bad about myself.

40 mins of kickboxing done. Pad work + counter striking. Not as intense but a good session - need to take it slow and steady after 3 weeks of being a couch potato during holidays.
Lunch time now:
250 grams of chicken pan fried in 2tb spoon extra virgin olive oil and half a cup of veggies.

@zucchini yes you have a strong path ahead and you dont need to feel bad, it takes time to build back up after a serious low time.you are correct. I got a few pictures when I woke up this morning. Attaching them with this post.

EVO family supports you and you have our love, lets do this.
Please post your blood tests to start for us and blur personal info.
I would stop drinking diet soda and switch to tea/water to start.
Also can you start tracking macros via app? thanks
Glad you decided to log this man. Focusing on diet is going to make the biggest difference with your results.
Thanks man... Yeah those fit pictures of me are when I was weighing from 72-80kg range. Attached is the blood work.@zucchini yes you have a strong path ahead and you dont need to feel bad, it takes time to build back up after a serious low time.

I am already tracking my macros.
On the topic of diet soda. Other than Aspartame being bad, is there anything else in there that might hinder fat loss or have an adverse effect?
Thanks man. I am doing my best - shit happened and I let myself fall way too low.

Please start posting, daily foods and macros from the app thanks
Destroys gut bacteria, causes imbalances and problems with digestion. @zucchini
Day's done...
Had a great Back workout today, couldn't get any pictures, everyone has january gym syndrome and barely able to find a bench or a machine to work on.
*warmup*
Barbell bent over rows: Strict form 3x10 1x8 for 155lbs
Dumbbell one arm rows: 2x10 1x8 75lbs dumbbell
Cable pulldowns: 2x10 187lbs full ROM 1x8 where last two reps were partials
Seated Cable Rows: 2x10 187lbs strict form + 1x8 reps 187lbs strict form.
One arm kneeling cable pulls: Warm down set - 2x12 for 25 reps 1x12 for 35 reps (each side)
Last meal of the day was 350 grams of cottage cheese again... might do eggs tomorrow but we will see.
Hit the protein goal again today - Might not be able to sustain low carbs much longer but luckily tomorrow is a jujitsu day and an off day from the weights - Friday will be legs, and off from MMA so I will load up on Carbs.
Today's macros and last meal attached:

Posted again today, posted the yesterday ones as well.
Damn, so maybe that's why I am feeling bloated in the morning and sometimes thru the day? I will cut down on it and eventually eradicate it.
Btw, what do you do on your cheat days/meals? I have powered thru a few of them but then sometimes the motivation just falls, do you have a rule for them and do you have a cheat day once a week?
They are daily and ongoing in general, as foods should adjust. Keep updating please.
Any comments on the blood work and the macros for today?@zucchini yes you have a strong path ahead and you dont need to feel bad, it takes time to build back up after a serious low time.

@zucchini protein is good, you hit the goal but the diet is very low in fat and fiber.
You need to add omega 3 fats and healthy fats, add walnuts, fish oil and avocado, get fats up, and add daily probiotics and psyllium husk fiber so your fiber is over 30 grams.
the bloods are not clear, the paper is hard to read if you can repost the full pic dont resize with info blurred thanks
Got it. I guess fat from Almonds and Pistachio would be fine too and fat in ground beef would be good as well. I will get to it!
I will also grab a probiotic and psyllium husk supplements on my way back from work tomorrow.
Hopefully you can see this, not resizing at all just taking a snip this time:
Yes saw this, i thought testosterone wasn't show and its not, do you have a T level test?
Cool!
Test levels are there, under hours fasting and above ths,
It says Testosterone, total - 13.1nmol/L
