    Whats your whole day's meal plan? 7oz of protein a day is one meal tyically.

    My guess is you're body is in starvation mode.

    I consume the most protein during the breakfast (65 grams of protein). Besides breakfast I have 3 more major meals each one having 5-6 Oz of protein on average. In my last meal I don't consume carbs aside of the greens/salad. I also have 1 to 2 snacks a day (usually some nuts or coffee with free sugar creamer).

    Your math is off, that's 530 grams not 200.

    Coffee is not a meal.

    I mean what is your exact meal plan...for example

    Meal One
    10oz liguid egg whites
    2 slices of white toast
    2 slices of turkey bacon
    1/2 cup of oats

    Meal 2
    8oz of lean meat
    4oz guac
    6oz greens

    Etc.
    Etc.

    There is no way in hell you should be running 600 mg of test or for that matter ANY anabolics with body fat that is "super high"

    5-6 Oz of COOKED meal. Thats roughly around 40 Oz of protein.

    OK, you're on the right track here, but IMO per my previous post you are not eating enough and are likely catabolic.

    Also, did I miss it: what cycle are you running?

    You need to make your 6pm and 8pm meals actual meals.

    I'd switch to white rice (brown rice has gluten) try having a pre-workout and post workout meal with 7oz of lean meat and about 3/4 cup of rice (thats a starting point, you may need to increase or decrease as needed)

    Eat every 3 hours EVERY DAY. No excuses.

    You're doing too much cardio; 30 minutes a day/steady pace >>> increaseing your calories steadily will add muscle, this can replace the need for excessive cardio.

    Do your cardo 1st thing in the am before Meal 1 or IMMEDIATELY after training.

    Not enough food man. You need at least 6 complete meals a day. Some nuts and a banana are just snacks…. So from 3pm to 11 pm ur starving yourself. No wonder you’re not making any gains. You have 2 maybe and a strong maybe 3 solid meals. Cut a scoop and half of fake powder protein out and replace with liquid egg whites. Half a teaspoon of peanut butter is literally not even worth opening the damn jar .

    Forget about gear until you get your diet right. It’s about 40% right as of now. Lot of improvement needed. Then learn to train, this will take minimum 1-2 years. Then you might could add gear.
