Thanks again for the info Vetteman. Would you mind sharing a little about your diet with us? And if so, is it more of a maintenance program or are you working to lose significant bf? What's the most you've ever weighed?

Ah, so you want to get into the boring stuff!!! - LOL. Seriously, that's kind of how I describe my diet, and those that know me would probably agree.

The most I've ever weighed was about 207. This was back in 2006. I had a little beer gut going, high BP, and felt like crap. I ended up dropping more than 30 pounds the following year. How I went about losing that weight was totally wrong! I cut the hell out of my calories to the point that I lost a lot of strength.

Anyways, I've learned a lot since then and I really believe that a good diet will be the catalyst to make one's TRT program a complete success.

As for me ... I'm telling you, man, it's boring! I don't eat hardly any red meat due to iron (that's another story). I don't put any sauces, salt, sugars, etc. on my food. Tonight was Halibut (yum), which I added a little lemon. Also had a pile of broccoli that was steamed, and a little brown rice. I try to eat 6x per day, with a couple 30g lean protein shakes mixed with water. Did I say water? That's pretty much all I drink. I might have a cup of coffee in the morning (black) and some 0 calorie green tea, but that's about it. No pop, no alcohol, nothing fun.

There's a good app with IPhone called Tap & Track Calories, which is a good program for tracking calories, protein, fats & carbs. I believe it's important to design a diet that you can stick to. Protein is KING!!!! I'll leave it with one other thought ... I think night time is very important when looking at the diet big picture. So many people load up on carbs before they go to bed and they wonder why they're not dropping the pounds. For the most part, I cut out carbs after 6:00 PM, and my last meal at night might look something like this:

30g casein protein
3 teaspoons of natty peanut butter
EFA's (They metabolize great with all natty PB)
1/2 cup of cottage cheese

BTW, I'm always looking to drop a few points of BF% I would like to hit single digits at some point, but I'm going to have to bust my arse like crazy, and I'll need to tighten my diet up even better. I'm not looking to ever compete or build any massive physique, just looking for the lean, cut, with some definition look. Wearing 34 waist Levi's right now, would like to hit 32 which was my waist at 18.
