Too Much Protein = Lower Test?

“So, what is the best type of diet to follow if your only concern is to increase T levels and make more of it available to the body for the purpose of improving lean body mass and/or performance? It would seem that CHO intake must exceed PRO intake by at least 40% to keep the bioactive fraction of T high. Fat intake should be at least 30%, saturated fat needs to be higher than PUFA, and fiber intake needs to be low. A sample diet would have roughly the following calorie breakdown: 55% CHO, 15% PRO and 30% fat.”

High carb, low fiber, low protein? Goes against almost everything I’ve heard/read on this website and otherwise…

I’m going to look more closely at the studies cited.

If you are protein-deficient, you will not put on mass even if your T is high. Testosterone is not the only thing that matters when it comes to building muscle.

No, which is why it is interesting that the studies would suggest that it does.

The part i really don’t get is the low fiber
