210lb 6'2" 29yo BF less then 10%
My cycle consist of, weeks 1-6 test-e 500mg ew tren -a 75eod. Weeks 6-12 test-p 100eod tren-a 75eod winstrol 50mg ed.
I'm currently on week 9 and have cut back my calories for the last three weeks to 1800 per day with 45 min cardio per day. But for the last week I've been incredibly hungry. I've upped my calories to 2800 for the last few days and don't seem to be gaining BF.
2800 sound like a good intake for my stats??Last edited by 1wheelr1; 03-27-2013 at 08:06 AM.

What are you going for here man? Cutting obviously - but what's the end goal?

2800 would be around maintenance for your stats..so eating 1800cal you are def under eating man, especially if you are under 10%.

Ok, understood. A couple of things to consider:
1 - were you making progress (losing bodyfat) at 1800 calories?
2 - were you losing discernible strength/muscle at 1800 calories?
3 - did you have very low energy/crankiness/lethargy at 1800 calories?
If yes to 1 and no to 2 and 3, then I say keep doing what you're doing and deal with the hunger - although I'd definitely throw a refeed in every 7 days. If yes to 2 and/or 3, you're likely eating too little and need to bump calories. Adding 1000 calories right off the bat is a huge jump, I wouldn't personally approach it that way. However you've already done it, so I say stick with it, monitor yourself closely for BF gains and adjust down if needed. Just because you haven't seen bodyfat creep up yet doesn't mean it won't eventually. It doesn't always happen right away, and it definitely doesn't occur in a linear fashion in my experience. Having said that, I doubt you'll gain much if any bodyfat at 2800 calories considering your stats. So, enjoy!!

2. No I wasn't but then again I'm on tren , so I don't really think that I should lose much if any muscle.
3. I was extremely cranky not to energy levels were ok tho...

Meh... winny is kinda weak IMO... tren is amazing, I'd attribute your progress more to tren than winny tbh.
My advice remains the same - since you already bumped up to 2800 calories, stay there for a while... but remember that you're looking to reduce bodyfat, not to simply avoid adding it - so if you're not making that progress, you need to come down some... and/or add in more cardio, assuming you're doing some now.

So basically just keep my eye on the BF and adjust my calories and cardio as such. Simple enough, thx bro!
