[RIOSHOWTIME2]

Ditto!

Apettite [1(poor)-10(starving)] = I would say about an "8" for my appetite because I get hungry every now and again, usually more towards the 3 hour wait time, but I am usually content with my intake.

Looks good. No adjustments this week. Have you gained any weight since you started HRT?

Current Protein = ~140 g

Apettite [1(poor)-10(starving)] = "5" due to the fact that he doesn't eat bad food, he just doesn't eat often enough. We have to find a way that he can eat his macros while on his feet in the kitchen at work.

Increase protein to 200 grams per day. Leave carbs where they are for now. No other adjustments this week.

My diet has been a bit different than usual (incorporating more carbohydrates):

M1 - 2 scoops whey, 1 cup oats
M2 - 8oz tuna, 1 cup oats
M3 - 8oz chicken breast, 2 cups brown rice
M4 - 2 scoops whey, 1oz almonds
M5 - 8oz lean red meat/salmon burgers/chicken, 1 cup mixed green veggies
M6 - 2 scoops whey, 1oz almonds

I have been sticking to this diet as it is the diet I was instructed to follow as per Alex Azarian's consultation.

I also have a 10lb tub of Real Gains coming my way.

Your macros are all over the place. Set protein at 320 and set your your carbs at 400. Make sure they stay at those amounts every single day, except one day a week you can have a cheat meal.

Increase carbs to 400 grams per day. Eat 3 cheat meals on top of your normal eating each week. If at all possible, eat those cheat meals after training. I personally would like to see you grab a big ass ****ing hamburger after each training session. It's going to drive Steve nuts, but gotta do it.

No need to load much but just take in 3-5 grams of creatine per day. Good solid gain, but we will probably see that slow next week. No changes this week.

Didn't increase that protein up to where I recommended. Almost, but not there yet. Increase protein to 220 grams per day and leave carbs where they are. Come on brother. It's a formula. Leave any part of the formula out and your not going to get what you want. Drop of 5 lbs is pretty substantial. Hopefully this will level off by next week.
