Sorry for the lack of updates family were visiting so barley had to time to take pics and relay more frequent updates. However been consistent in every aspect expect some days with higher foods volume (same calories).
GH was increase to 8 to 10ius on Day 22. No water gain so far.
BG has been 4.7 mmol/L → 84.6 mg/dL even with a "dirtier diet", as in more sugar and denser meals.
Despite holding calories steady at 3,400 kcal for nearly four weeks—with consistent sodium, steps, PED dosing, and macros my bodyweight has not stabilized or increased. Instead, trendline has clearly drifted downward (87.1 → 86.1 → 85.3 kg), indicating that these calories have effectively become your my maintenance. Some weird increases were basically some days I just ate more volume but the overall trend seems to be a plateau.
lifts are semi-plateaued so that's another indicator to increase kcals.
Because of that, a small, controlled calorie increase is justified. A +150 kcal bump—bringing intake to around 3,500–3,550 kcal—seems conservative enough.

You're suggestion seems to have done wonders, flushed out a lot of water weight, even with gh being increases. Sodium was a key fix I needed. Thanks alot bro <3how much sodium/water do you have a day? and how do you manage electrolytes,
