Adjusting Calories for Tren Cut

[Master_Blaster_1]

Hey guys!

So on my first real cut out of my 8 year lifting career. Cut down from 220 to roughly 180lbs.. Rough guess im sitting at about 13% body fat.. Very close to 10% for sure...

Anyway cycle/ training history. 8 years lifting eating shit just trying to be savage strong so I have been overweight most the time.

I decided to throw some tren e to my trt regiment. About 500mg a week... And while what I am doing for now is working, I would like some advice!

Was cutting on 1800-2000 calories a day on 250mg sust a week... Have since added tren and increased calories to roughly 2000-2500 and added in 45 to 60 minutes of cardio 6 to 7 times a week..

Diet is immaculate and consisting of 40/40/20. Hitting about 230-250 grams of protein a day and same for carbs. Between 30-65 grams of fat. All clean whole foods. Egg whites, tuna, oats, whey, turkey, ezekial bread and lentel pasta... Got the foods down lol.

Would like some criticing from the forum if possible on if anything could or should be improved upon?

My appetite has been crazy and eating 1800 with my current training regiment is very difficult but can be done.

You guys think raising calories a bit will slow progress or help with muscle preservation?

Looking to trim off these last little pockets of fat and getting to that flat 10% BF.

Thanks guys!

You are roughly burning 2600 calories/daily from what you provided plus factoring in a moderate weight training session. Cutting 300-500 calories a day will give you a steady fat loss of approximately .75-1lb per week and should preserve muscle while doing so.
Good luck!

You might also want to throw in some carb cycling, especially when you slow some. There's lots of ways to do it, but I prefer a low, low, low, high, low, low, high split currently. Here's my macros:

High carb: 250p/280c/54f

Low carb: 250p/100c/90f

As you can tell, I'm also cycling calories somewhat as well. 2210 on low days and about 2500 on high days. There's probably better ways to do it but this is simple, I'm retaining all my muscle if not putting more on, and losing at a steady 2-2.4lbs per week. Once I start leveling out more I'm going to add in larger carb refeeds and probably eventually a single cheat meal every week of a burger and fries. I'm currently only on 200 test and 100 tren e and I've been cruising on that for a long time. Not sure when I'll blast again.

You'll probably notice with the cleaner foods that you will be able to continually bump your calories up little by little to "stoke the fire" so to say. Once upon a time I was able to stoke my metabolism all the way up to 3400 calories daily while cutting down to about 156 around 5.4% BF.

Have you thought about hiring a diet coach? I know tren2k14 on here is a bad ass diet coach and has an opening right now. Doing that will really help you learn your body and dieting techniques

My most productive cut was a few years ago. I had trimmed off a substantial percentage of body fat but I plateau-ed. With my goal only 4 weeks out I took some drastic measures. I went 2 weeks at <1,000 calories a day followed by 2 weeks at <1,500 calories a day. Everyone told me i was nuts and i couldnt disagree while i barely made it through a training session the initial week. My target goal was 70% protein, 20% fat, 10% carbs during the death run. I'm not suggesting that you mimic such a regiment, as i will likely never do such again myself. My idea was that i would enduce such a shock on my body that it would have to give. Well it gave and i got to single digit BF%. My belief is you should read a bunch, take a bit of knowledge from it all, & formulate your own plan. No one knows your body like you do...
