    Enough Calories?

    I am currently in my second week of a test, tren, deca cycle and am taking in around 4,000 calories a day give or take a few hundred. I weighed myself at day 7 and had dropped a pound, so I'm not sure I'm eating enough. At the time I was only taking in around 3,400 calories a day. Each meal is spaced 2.5-3 hours apart.

    My stats:
    Age: 23
    Weight: 181
    Starting BF%: 8%
    Height: 5'11''

    Does anyone have an opinion on how many I should be taking in and/or the macro breakdown? I'm thinking I need to up my carb and fat intake a bit more to get a ratio closer to 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!!
