Diet Advice

[Jaxon0408]

To start off I'm 31yo 5'8" currently 214lb @ 12%bf looking to cut. According to the calculator I'm at 2600 maintenance calories would be my base. I've been on a diet basically just counting macros which are split 300C 200P 75F but I do keep up with the calories just to make sure they aren't getting too high which runs anywhere from 2600-2800 depending on the food consumption for the day. I am on cycle right now running sust 250/week tren 400/week and mast 600/week. So I'm figuring if I stay around my maintenance calories on tren and mast I would still be cutting. I just need to figure out an accurate macro split for cutting. That's part of my question. The other part is how do you know (based on feeling and progress) when to adjust macros up and down. I've been on this diet about 2 weeks solid and I'm obviously cutting down but staying the same weight. I'm sure that's due to the tren but I'm wanting to cut weight and get down below 200 while keeping my mass. Let me know where I'm going wrong here and what you would do in my case. All helpful info is appreciated.

Tagging along for the answer as Well. I too would like to lose poundage on my cut but want to keep mass . I definitely find myself looking better in the mirror but the pounds are coming off very slowly.

Tren reportedly has that issue. Ppl maintain scale weight but get leaner which means some recomp action is happening. If scale weight is more important than you'd need to drop calories further (or cardio to burn more) and/or drop or lower your tren dose perhaps.

For cutting, I'd suggest around 1.2g/lb of protein, ~.4g/lb fats, and the rest carbs for a basic cutting diet. It's different if you want to do a carb cycling, keto, IF, PSMF-type diet, etc

Normally, you make adjustments once progress stops. You'd subtract a few hundred calories (primarily from carbs and maybe fats).
