I am 28 yrs old. 6"3 and 262 lbs. I am on 500 mg test E a wk. I want to turn my fat I already have into muscle during my cycle. Should I stick to a high protein highs fiber diet and keep my calories the same even though I'm working out 4 days a week?? Any tips or help would be great... Thanx
 
cant turn fat into muscle.. and if you are fat to start with your just gonna get fatter with all that oestrogen and water floating about
 
cycling at a higher bf% is not recomended generally. side effects can be more pronounced and more likely. do you know what your current bf% is?
 
I'm not fat by any means I just wanna know if I lift and eat less calories will I still see gains from the test... I work out alot, I'm just natrally a big guy is what I meant to say
 
my bf% is around 8 and I also meant to burn the fat as fuel to build muscle... I guess I should have clarified that better I understand you can't turn fat into actual muscle but I should be able to cut calories and burn what fat I have to fuel muscle gain instead of muscle loss due to calorie cut backs

You're 8% bf and worried about turning fat into muscle? at 6-2, 262lbs and 8%bf you should be celebrating not worrying about cutting bodyfat. Training 4 times per week doesn't seem like enough while on cycle?
 
Ok I will train harder and more often... Thanx and I originally meant to say I wasn't fat but I am just a big dude is all... Test shouldn't kick in for another week or so anyway
 
Dude if you have genes like that eat your butt off lift hard and heavy. I would go for the freakish look!!! :)
 
Cardio. At 262 you need about 3900 calories a day to maintain what you have Steroids increase protein synthesis so you can up your protein intake some while on and really won't have to worry about becoming fat. If not cycling then to much protein will end up as fat though. While off a cycle a good figure is 1g of protein per lb of body weight, same for carbs, 1.2 t the highest imo. You can go up to 2 or a little more if cycling and doing the appropriate cardio. Try to consume the majority of your carb intake around your first meal of the day and an hour or so before your workout. Have some dextrose post workout to promote an insulin boost along with a protein shake and a post workout meal about an hour or so after your workout. ONe way to figure out calories needed is to take your body weight and multiply it by 15 for the average person and that's your maintain calorie consumption, any more and you should gain weight and less you should lose weight.
