    Not gaining weight like last time

    Hey guys, it's been a LONG time since I've posted here

    So I'm currently eating 3500+ calories a day. The last time I was eating this much, I easily made it up to ~210 lb, granted, it wasn't an extraordinarily lean 210, but non-the-less. Here we are 2+ years later, I'm back to that calorie range (on a pretty different diet) and I'm fluctuating in the low-mid 190's, which is what I would normally weigh on 3000 cals.

    Now, there are some changes from last time.
    -I'm currently running a (HIGH) TRT dose, 275mg/week total, whereas I wasn't taking anything last time I was eating this much.
    -I also took some Metformin inconsistently for a short while because I've been pre-diabetic since I first started keeping track of that sort of thing over 2 years ago. Metformin seems to have "permanently" increased my insulin sensitivity because instead of my fasted glucose being 103-104, now it's usually mid 90's. And I haven't taken Metformin in well over a month now.
    -I also have a bit more protein in my diet than last time. I'm currently eating as much COMPLETE protein as I was TOTAL protein last time. I'm averaging 260g complete protein out of 300g total protein right now.
    -Lastly, my diet resembles more of a "Remington James" or "Greg Doucette" style of diet this time, as opposed to the last diet where I was eating the very basic "ground beef, chicken, rice, beans, cheese, potatoes, etc" type of diet.
    -I'm also significantly more cut than I was last time, I'm sure due to the fact that I'm 15ish lb lighter than the last time I was doing this.

    These are the only differences I can think of. Does this sound like enough to have this much impact on my weight?? Or might something else be going on?

    Wrong. U have to eat more of the food the body utilize.
    One example, change from cornfed animals to grasfed animals, if u eat a lot of meat.
    Drop al sucrose.
    Eat ecologic eggs/chickens. Healthy animals. Wild salmon etc etc.
    The difference is huge.
    U can eat 6000 calories from the industry which only thinks cash with just slowly killing your kidneys. Or eat 4000 ecologic calories and grow like fuck.

    Even if you dont give a rats ass about cruelty to animals, u stil should look at the animals health when it lived. Because a sick animal is not good for u.

    And 6000 calories from shakes...lol..come on man..get out of here
