    Cycle Diet Help

    I've posted a couple of times before, but I'm guessing I wasn't detailed enough in my post to warrant
    any responses. Let me try again.

    Info:
    34 yrs old
    5'10"
    196 lbs
    ~12% bf
    10+ yrs lifting


    Current TDEE according to posted formula is ~2950
    I'm running Test E at 500/wk for 12 weeks

    Sample of a typical workout day 40c/40p/20f

    MEAL 1
    2 large whole egg
    8 egg whites
    1/4 cup grits
    1 raisin bagel
    2 tbsp spread

    696cals (79c/52p/17f)


    MEAL 2 Pre WO
    4oz 94% lean beef
    1/2 cup sauce
    2.5oz whole wheat pasta

    448cals (61c/34p/10f)


    MEAL 3 Post WO
    1 scoop ON whey
    1/2 cup oats
    1/4 cup greek yogurt
    1/4 cup almond milk
    1 tbsp natural PB
    1 large banana

    526cals (61c/40p/14f)

    MEAL 4
    8oz chicken
    1 cup sweet potato
    1/2 cup greens
    2 tbsp fat free ranch

    430cals (47c/58p/2f)

    MEAL 5
    9oz fish
    1 cup whole grain medley
    1/2 cup greens

    488cals (51c/59p/7f)

    MEAL 6
    8oz lean steak
    6 egg whites
    1/2 cup greens
    2 tbsp steak sauce

    472cals (6c/65p/16f)

    Totals:
    3060 cals
    308 carb
    305 protein
    66 fat

    Of course on my workout days where I lift + cardio I have to adjust a bit more to cover maintenance
    plus deficit. 2950 + ~500 = 3450. This is where I'm unsure as to what additional amount of calories
    I should add. I've gone up to 3600 so far and my waist remains the same while my weight seems to
    be slightly on the rise. My off days I drop the Pre and Post workout meals but add other sources to
    keep the intake around 2800-2900 with lower carbs, macro (35c/45p/20f)

    My question is; Should I up my calories even more? I want to get the most out of the cycle, but I really
    want to keep the added fat to a minimum the best I can. Any suggestions?

    How far into the cycle are you?
    I would have patience as of now. The scale is going up and not your waist so things are going well for you.
