Just did a statistical test of the hypothesis that there is no difference in total testosterone for your bloodwork data. Used all OFF and ON readings that were taken after you started working out again. Results attached. I may have missed some readings. Used the following:
OFF readings: 724, 1016, 937, 724
ON readings: 1092, 921, 1071The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

Do it yourself!
If I include the two data points prior to you starting doing strength training I do obtain a (just) "statistically significant" difference. But I would interpret that as suggesting that your testosterone maybe increased when you started training again.The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

I cut the red meat down seriously while cutting, since it's just not an efficient way to get the same amount of protein, and I'd rather have the difference in carbs so my training doesn't suffer.
Like you have said, I have a big appetite and would rather eat 4 bowls of egg white rice stuff than a small cheeseburger, easily.Bench: 350
Squat: 405
Deadlift: 505

Hence the dilemma lol. But between the two, I'd rather at least be full. I'd rather fill my stomach with decently tasting food than have to confine myself to tiny portions of rich food. Personal preference, of course. Some people seem to do better with the other method of restriction.

For fullness I definitely agree. For me the main problem is that the «fullness» feeling takes a lot of time to arrive after a meal. So there is a very large time window where I could potentially eat a ton of food without feeling full.
So I opt for several meals high in protein and meals rich in vegetables for dinner, and spread these throughout the day.
I find whole eggs incredibly filling and that’s one of the reasons I still eat plenty of eggs.The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

That really wasn't my experience when I was on a 100% vegan diet for almost 3 years...
Fats are insanely easy on a vegan diet... peanut butter, tofu, guacamole, and basically any oil, plus all the vegan alternative stuff is usually pretty high in fat, too.
It's mainly the HCLF vegans that have problems IMO"When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

I was cleaning out a refrigerator an hour ago and found a jug of Egg Beaters. That got me thinking. What if someone drank a quart of Egg Beaters each day throughout the day? Think that might be somewhat of a hormone precursor? When my 30 day experiment with 12 oysters a day is over, I may drink a quart of Egg Beaters a day for 30 days.
