Please review and advise me on Diet& Macro/breakdown

[goldprospector]

I am 38 yrs old, 6'5" tall currently 242lbs. Please remember my natural metabolism is slow (averaging .599 TSH levels)
I am working on cutting for the EF contest and I don't know if I have the macronutrients at the correct levels. I started this particular diet 2 weeks ago and weighed 248lbs. I am cycling Test/Tren and am using 50mcg of T3 per day. My vascularity is improving and muscle measurments are not getting smaller. I am doing cardio a minimum of 5 days per week.

I have 3 basic daily food planners that I split up during the week for variety. I have stuck to them to the letter each day. I don't want to get into what foods exactly but they are plenty of oats, veggies, beef, tuna, chicken, ect.
Anyway between the 3 different days, the average macro break down is as follows: (this is as close as I can figure)
Calories-- 2483
Protien-- 377g
Carbs--- 229g
Fat--- 34g
Please advise me if I need to change any of the macros to lose the optimum amount of bodyfat%.

6 lbs in 2 weeks is very good.You should bump the fat up to 80g or so.I recommend hemp seed oil,but flax,grapeseed,etc are fine.Keep it up.

Are the carbs OK or should they be lower? Also what is the best way to fugure out what kind of calories you need for maint. and fat loss. I am just guessing with the figure above.

If you've lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks,it's working.If it ain't broke,don't fix it.You may reach a point where you body adjust to a certain caloric level,whatever that level may be.The best way to avoid this is to cycle your carbs and calories.The simplest way would be to have a "high" carb day(230) and a "low" carb day(140).These days will occur at random,determined by a coin toss each day (or the night before)You may have several high or low carb days in a row.This is fine,as long as it's unpredictable.Keep your other nutrients about the same.For more ideas on calorie/carb cycling take a look at my carnivore diet.It's a sticky near the top of the page.
