help with staying lean- coming off HGH

[Timm1704]

ok, likely to be a long read, so here goes...

i have been running GH for the past year, with two cycles of AAS thrown in there too. Basically, the main effect GH had on my physique was making me much leaner, along with giving my body a generally more refined, polished look. I thought i was relatively lean before, and so did others around me, but i have grown accustomed to this new level of lower bodyfat (im not diced my any means, am likely between 10-12% bodyfat, but thats the look im after). I look at pictures pre-GH and honestly look fat and soft compared to now.

I have been eating the following meals throughout the past year, and its been relaitively similar for probably a year or so before that. I often change things up in the gym and in the kitchen, and now is the time to make some changes again.

I am soon to finish running GH, and am not in the position to afford anymore for the foreseeable future. I am wanting to alter my diet in the hope of remaining as lean as possible, whilst still being able to continue adding muscle.

This is how my food is patterend monday-friday (training days), saturday and sunday i still eat 4-6 meals high in protein and carbs, but dont have any shakes unless im travelling somewhere and food may not be an option as often as id like.

Here is the diet:

Meal 1- 2 slices bread, 4 whole eggs plus 4 egg whites (51g protein, 36g carbs, 21g fat, 515 calories)

Meal 2- (first break at work, physical job) 2 tins of mackerel, 1 can rice pudding (50g protein, 76g carbs, 26g fat, 900 calories)

Meal 3- 200g chicken breast, mashed potatoe, yoghurt (60g protein, 72g carbs, 18g fat, 678 calories)

Meal 4- (on way home from work) 500g yoghurt (31g protein, 71g carbs, 1g fat, 415 calories)

Meal 5- (30mins before gym) 1 tin tuna, 1 baked potatoe (36g protein, 37g carbs, 0.8g fat, 297 calories)

Meal 6- (Post-Workout) whey protein shake with water, banana (50g protein, 33g carbs, 2g fat, 355 calories)

Meal 7- 3 small chicken breasts in breadcrumbs, mashed potatoe (80g protein, 87g carbs, 32g fat, 955 calories)

ROUGH TOTAL - 350g protein, 410g carbs, 105g fat (36g saturated), 4113 calories.

i aim at 50g protein per meal, but after adding everything up realised some of the meals are higher than that.

the mackerel contains 6g ***** 3's, so thats 30g ***** 3 each week, is this too high?

Biggest causes for concern in the diet IMO is the rice pudding, the chicken w/breadcrumbs and the amount of potato. as mentioned, even eating like this i am nice and lean, but i guess thats what GH does for you lol. My aim was to gain as much muscle as possible from the GH, so ate accoridngly.

Was thinking of switching the carb sources, and having just a serving of vegetables with my last meal.

If you managed to read this far, thanks very much, and any help/criticism and opinions would be greatly appreiated.

Im 23, 5'8 and weigh typically between 190-195lbs

Being quick to the chase, just cut to 1.5/3 of the pudding, breadcrumbs and potatoes accordingly, and see how your body reacts to it.. however, do not cut your clean carbs at all from the diet; just minimize the intake and keep your proteins at same intake or up that up a bit.. just play with it. IMO, you should be ok as long as your diet is OK!
