Weight Gain Since Starting TRT

[Bio-Active]

I am currently about 12 weeks into TRT. I started with low test levels around 250 ng/dl and free test was at 47. I have been very strict with my diet for the last couple of years. Before starting TRT i was at about 8 % body fat and weighed about 125 at 5"4. Now I am not sure what my body fat is but i have been gaining weight very fast since starting TRT. I am up about 9 pounds in 12 weeks. I have not changed my diet at all since starting TRT. I am alot stronger in the gym as well. Does this seem normal with TRT? My meal plan consists of 6 meals per day, First 4 Protein 25 grams and carbs 30 grams. Last 2 protein and greens. Meals 2 and 6 have 1 serving of fats as well. With this diet i had been maintaining the same weight for about 1 year. I have been body building for the last 7 years as well. Any thoughts? Oh yeah TRT is 100 Mg Test cyp shot once per week.

Sounds like your really needed the test. 9 pounds in 12 weeks is very doable off cycle for most people. Probably some of the weight is water too, so you might have just packed on 5 or 6 pounds of muscle, which isn't much for 12 weeks.

Everything seems like its normal. Id bet that in the next 12 weeks you will start to level out

Sounds good! I appreciate the feedback! I would like to stay as lean as i can while adding muscle slowly. Does it seem i am going in the right direction?
