So I just finished up a bulking cycle - eating pretty clean, not too strict, around 3k calories a day. Over 6 weeks running 600 mg test prop only I gained 11 lbs.. Going from 184 to 195.
Pretty happy with the results, Im stopping 2 weeks early cause I don't want to exceed 200lbs. My entire body is noticeably bigger and my bf% went from 12% to 15% though. Not a bad thing - but my question is.
I've been eating 3k calories a day and I plan on losing a 1.5lb per week.. Cutting down to 2k calories per day - my bmr + activity rate to maintain my weight is 3011.005 calories per day.. So over the next 2 months I'm expecting to be a little under 10% bf.. What should my daily percentages be when it comes to protein? Fat? And carbs?
I've been running my diet at 47% protein, 45% carbs, and 8% fat.. Should I cut carbs further back? And boost protein?? So I'm sitting at like 64% protein, 38% carbs, and 8% fat?? How much is to much of a carb reduction? An what's optimal to maintain my gains, while lowering my waste size??
I'm 23 yrs old,
59.5 inches tall
195lbs in weight
Put 2 inches on my chest, half inch on forearms, an inch on both biceps, an 1.5 inches on my legs and a non wanted 1.5 in. On my waste..
Anyways, give any and all criticism - if my thoughts r way off PLZ bash the hit out of me for it haha and correct me!!
