I have a good problem and need guidance.
53 yo, 5ft9 weighing 120kg. On TRT and bloods monitored regularly.
I struggle to shed weight, bf% probably 17%. Diet at 120g protein, 180g fats and minimal carbs.
But I struggle to get to some weight below 120kg.
Been training since 1990. Powerlifting and heavy duty until 2020, more science based since then, also due to injuries.
Any advice.
I don’t understand your topic title here. It appears you are eating at least 2100 calories, without factoring in carbs. You are eating a near 4:1 fat to protein ratio here as far as calories go: a clinical ketogenic diet. Is there a reason for this?
17% bodyfat at 120kg and 5’9 is ridiculously jacked. I say as a fellow 5’9 lifter. If those stats are accurate, you are a unique specimen.
Yeah… give the full daily caloric intake.
No shit!… It didn’t hit me until I did the conversion to lbs.
I find this odd…. If you been lifting for 30plus and currently 260lbs 17% at 5’9 .
What do you mean by more science based?
Regarding your title as pointed out by @T3hPwnisher im confused myself
“ muscle gains at 300cals”
Was this ment to be 3000cals?
Which based off your stats … that should be wayyyyyy below your maintenance. Unless you have the metabolism of a snail.
Additionally, this is about half what I’d expect (based on your weight) from those of us that started lifting in the 90s. Is there something medical going on?
I will be honest if hes carring that much meat ( more specifically his projected LBW) on his frame at 5’9 with a possible gastric or metabolic issue.
i would be amazed.
It’s definitely what I thought was interesting: they’re almost exactly a clinical ketogenic diet level of protein. It’s like something Robert Sikes would run toward the end of competition prep. Or, quite possibly, a recommendation from a nephrologist for someone with some sort of advanced state of kidney failure, which could certainly be in the cards for someone with a history of high blood pressure and PED abuse.
Just reading the initial post, with age, BMI, and presumptive training history, this was kind of my (unfair) knee jerk guess
Why am I getting the vibe this is a hit and run thread?
4 days in and no further comment from OP. Anyone else getting a Troll vibe?
