Friday mornin I'm 243. Had oatmeal for brkfast. 2 chicken breast at lunch a banana. And 1/2 lb of turkey for supper and nothin else. Sat mornin I'm 249. Ate pretty clean all weekend. With one cheat meal and one carb reload meal. Monday 251. Do Y'all swing this bad?? Btw I run 750 mg of test every 5 days for tha last month. Have Aromatase inhibitor (AI) but have had no gyno problems. I train 5 days a week with cardio 30-60 min 4 or 5 of those days

Horrible diet. Why are you eating 3 times a day? To start I'd say your metabolism is all kinds of fucked up. Have you thought of having a more balanced ratio of macros at your meals? You need to do some research with dieting my friend.

the more carbs you eat the more water you will hold. i think its per gram of carb you hold 3g of water. i dont know how accurate that is but i remember reading it years ago. when you see people jump on a diet and completely cut their carbs and weigh themselves a couple days later and their all happy they lost 5lbs of "fat". no its not fat its just water weight you lost because you dropped the carbs.

id say your cheat meal and carb reload bumped up the amount of water your holding. not to mention your on a nice dose of test too.

Are you using the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) that you have in hand? Water retention could play a huge part in it.

What's your diet like? What are your stats, TDEE, and macros?

No not usin armidex. I've not really had any gyno. And figured bloat would go away with more water intake. 2500 cal. < 100 carbs 250-300 gm protein. Broccoli greens or spinach 2x day. I'm 6"5' 245 ( most of tha time ) bf 14_15%

An Aromatase inhibitor (AI) is more than just for gyno prevention. And with elevated estrogen no amount of water you could realistically drink would make you shed that estrogenic 'bloat'.

I usually eat 5-6 times a day. That just happened to b exactly what I ate those day. I was on golf coarse two days. But anyway I've lost rite at 60 lb so I think I know a lil bit about it. I'm definitely not a nutritionist but I don't believe I would go so far as to call my diet horrible. But hey if it makes u feel better go ahead. I call horrible what I used to do 2 biscuits and gravy two eggs and country ham for brkfast. Double whopper combo at lunch and 1/2 large pizza at supper. Sweet tea with all of um. Now don't that sound a lil more horrible than oatmeal and chicken?

Which Aromatase inhibitor (AI) do you have?

 

[Hogans hero]

Armidex 30mg per ml

 

[Hogans hero]

Armidex 1mg per ml. 30 ml bottle

 

[DreDay187]

Armidex 1mg per ml. 30 ml bottle

Start off at .25mg/EOD and adjust as necessary and when verified with bloods. At that concentration, you'd want 1/4 of a ml. It should start lowering estrogen by the end of the first day and water weight should start coming off not long after that. Adex is much faster acting than aromasin.
