Check out new guy intro for some stats but summary:
50-something yo. Fighting weight. Lift and cardiovascular mostly 3 days per week for last 7 years. One of the reasons I pursued trt. Weight gain and few gym gains. All other bw a-ok except my T=170ish
I can drop 25 lbs in 45 days at 700 cals per day. Done it numerous times ( I know, I know. I was dumb) but of course couldn't keep it off.
Started trt 3 weeks ago. Downloaded a cal/macro tracker exactly 1 month ago. App says "2#/week loss = 1770 call per day". Without exercise.
I'm still in the gym mostly (skipped a week with a cold), and in that month of tracking I have gone over the 1770 3 times. Thanksgiving, travel day before and last Saturday Xmas party. Otherwise I've been under 1770 every day. Anywhere from 50cals under to the day after the Xmas party splurge was 500cals under. And I've lost....... zero pounds!
Started at 235, was up a couple and now back down to 235. Kinda frustrating. Should have trt bw by end of the year. Man boobs are shrinking as measured by tape. Trying to do 40/30/30 protein fat carb for starters but carbs n fat still too high. I gotta try harder there!
Thanx for listening to an old guy ramble on ;-)
