Here’s a pm request by a bro who need help, I want you to pay attention to the number he put down about his nutrition. Then you can look at my answer but, it’s a good example about why sometime things go wrong when you think everything’s in check...

Sly, thanks for getting back! I am 44 6'1" 255 lb. 18-22% always get different readings lately on bf.I just started a kinda weird split with a bro. Today was chest, bis, tommorrow back, rest, legs and calves, shoulders, rest and start over. I have been doing cardio for everyday after training except leg days. On rest days just doing cardio. My med history is I am on trt of 200 mg. a week doctor prescribed. I have much gear available but have been told countless times I need to get to minimum 15% to run gear. I did this fall run a 10 week cycle of mlg test at 250 mg. and formeron for an ai, every third day with outstanding results. my test went from around 900 to 4000! I am also on 150 mcg. a day thyroid med. from endochronologist. So I have been on cruise trt and 1 pump daily of formeron for like almost 8 weeks. About 5 years ago I went from a buff 240 to 328 in a year and a half after back injury/divorce. I am happy now but just on a plateau. I eat oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast, post wo shake with karbolyn , 2 to 3 meals with chicken breast and brown rice, cottage cheese and casein protein before bed. Approx, 2500 cals a day, around 2-250 protein 200 ish carbs and fairly low fat, supplemented with a candy bar every few days. THanks again

Ok bro, let’s do the math together, you said about 2500cal/day. Perfect intake for you at 255lbs. I do recommend having a 10g per lb intake so, you’re right on!
The problem is about those number you gave me; 2-250g of protein (let’s assume 250 here) and around 200g of carbs.
1g of protein =4calories
1g of carbs = 4calories
1g of fat = 9calories.
If I take your number, 250g of pro + 200g of carbs =450g of product who are = to 4cal/g for a total of 1800cal
2500cal -1800 = 700cal. If those came by the way of fat, it’s about an 80g of fat daily intake... way too much.
If you can, skip the candy bar or at least try to shoot for a protein bar (those are candy imo)
When you get the advice of not running gear over 15% of bf, it was a good one. In fact, the higher your body fat, the most chance for aromatize to show up...
Is your back 100% now?
Just don’t see any triceps on your training split???
Your training must be address. Do you know what somato type you are (Ecto, meso or endomorph)
You’ve been thru a lot man, sometime, stress (who raises damn cortisol level) can make you gain weight like crazy...
What kind of cardio you’re doing? (Type and intensity please)
Shoot me back with details and also, let me know if you’re willing to try something new in regard of your training.
Talk soon bro.
