Current Stats: 6ft, 215lbs, 19-20%BF
Current Cycle (I'm on wk 2)
300mg Deca/wk (14wks)
500mg TestE/wk (17wks)
50mg Tbol/day (5 wks)
After reading various forums and getting advice from peers, I'm hoping I could get some clarity here.
My goal/thought process - Understanding that diet is key to any results, my hope was to shred off some BF this cycle (my goal is to get down to 15%) and in a perfect world, have the deca assist with building lean muscle mass. So with my current stats, reduce BF by 5% and net weight gain would be 220-225.
Some people were saying that it's possible to have a low calorie intake (2,000-2,200) with Deca to reduce BF and with the support of the deca gain lean muscle. Others say that since Deca is calorie dependent, if you're one isn't consuming a minimum of 3,000-3,500 cal/day then that person wouldn't see any benefits from the deca (aka, wasted money on deca because of low calorie intake).
Currently I'm consuming around 2,000-2,200 calories a day, I want to validate that this is the right calorie intake (since I'm only in my first week of my cycle).. so my questions are:
1. Having a 2k calorie intake on Deca - will this help me achieve my goal?
2. If not, should I just bump it up to the 3,500 calories? what should the Macros be at? And will I still be able to achieve my goals even with the high calorie intake?
