First cycle diet advice

[smaclean]

Im looking for some info on diet.

6ft 2
200 lbs
16%bf
32y/o 10 yrs of training

Im looking to put on about 10-15 lbs of muscle and lose about 10 lbs of fat... I have never cycled before. I have used prohormones and had good results (except for hair loss)

Cycle test e 400 split, + aromasin with proper pct

I plan to do a 12 wk cycle, take off about 2-3 months and do another 12 week going into summer with summer being the area that I want to become ripped for.

I currently eat rather high carb high protein x6 a day for around 2800-3100 cals. Im wondering if with the extra push from the cycle I should cut out carbs in half my meals or keep em high or even higher. breakdown of current meals that have def put me rather overweight (compared to what i was)
1-protein shake 40g 1 cup oats

2- 1 cut pasta or rice, 6 oz chicken

3-1 cup pasta or peanut butter and jelly sandwich with 6 oz chicken

4-pwo shake 50 g protein 80-100 grams carbs

5- pwo meal 6-8 oz chicken or beef, 1.5 cup carbs

6- peanut butter jelly sandwich, 20g protein shake, 8 oz milk, somthing sweet and fatty...doughnut

I also have fats thrown in...occasional slice pizza or something during each day usually.

The best you can do for gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time is eating at maintenance and recomping, which is a very slow process and I highly doubt you'll get close to gaining 10-15lb and losing the same amount of fat.

You need to clean up your diet a bit more too, don't rely so heavily on protein shakes, cut that daily pizza out.

I'd suggest losing weight before you cycle and post your cycle in the steroids q&a for critiquing.

I'm in an almost identical situation. For my first cycle I'm going to cut down naturally (losing a little muscle in the process) then start my cycle once I'm at a bf% I'm happy with. That way my bf% should stay the same while the lean gains should stack up big time over the 12 weeks... Or so I've been led to believe haha

I think at 6'2 at 200lbs unless your test levels are low. You have room to put mass on naturally with the diet and training. Your bf% isn't that bad. But if you could put another 10-20 lbs on and keep bf% at 16 % or lower it would set you up nicely.IMO
