I am taking just a bit less than 2500mg of gear weekly. My lipid panel is fucked up, which is to be expected even with a small cycle, but my heart and aorta are fine.
I've been gradually losing fat. Half a year ago, I weighed 292. Today, I weigh 267. I am 5'11. I am much stronger than I was back then. I've been on gear for 10 months. (I was taking less when I started.) I have made crazy progress in that time.
The thing is, this recomp is taking way too long. I'm just in a cycle now of switching between exercises to maximize growth in everything. I would say I train on a pretty advanced level now (I started lifting in 2013.), but I still feel as though I have tons of progress to make. I still don't psychologically want to cut (lose strength and muscle), even though I feel like shit for still being fat. It's old fat that I gained in my teens. I'm 25 now.
So, I am enhanced, and I consume somewhere between 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, closer to the latter. How should I cut? I figure I'll just go down really low on fat, focusing on getting all my protein while eating some carbs and the bare minimum amount of fat. What should my caloric deficit be? What I've done in the past is wait until I'm hungry, as in I have pain in my stomach, and then wait a certain number of hours. I'm guessing you can approximate how many calories you burn per hour based on your maintenance calories divided by 16 (How many hours you're typically awake per day.), but I'm not sure.
I don't autistically count calories and macros, but I do something similar meal to meal. I know that I approximately go through 250 calories per hour. My goal is to consume around 350 grams of protein per day. For approximately every 300 calories I consume in fat and carbs, I consume around 60 grams of protein in fat free or almost fat free protein sources, including whey protein powder. I can't always follow this rule, and I intentionally drink sugary drinks when working out.
