This is my first official thread here at EF, so I want to say hello to everyone first.
As a 24 year old male with a few cycles under my belt, I've decided to finally bite the bullet and get the physique I've wanted since I lost 80lbs and started lifting at 18. I'll be starting a 50mg/ed Var cycle relatively soon, with the hopes of exchanging as much body fat for lean muscle as possible. At 5' 10", 175lbs and around 13% BF (recently caliper measured) with some basic muscle separation and definition finally visible after an 8 week cut. I respond relatively well to var, even as low as 40mg/ed.
For the record, I've still got a ways to go before hitting my genetic potential, so I'm not too worried about long-term gains (aka I can keep just about anything I get). At most, I'd love to lose 5lbs of fat and gain 3-4lbs of lean tissue over the 6.5 week course.
Historically, I gain fat much easier than muscle, and spent the majority of my childhood on the border of obesity. So, my question... How many calories should I be eating? No matter the number, I'll be getting close to 200g protein daily from food and whey sources - and I'll be limiting fats to flax seeds and healthy oils. I've eaten clean for 5 years now, and I don't intend to stop any time soon. I work as a chef, and have constant access to scraps of lean meat, fish and seafood while on the line, but my job is relatively sedentary (minus the 8 straight hours of standing a day).
Also, does anyone know what I can do to replace Whey protein in my diet completely? No matter the brand, or the filtration method used, I bloat up from a 25-30g serving of the stuff. Any other fast digesting source available to take post workout?
Cheers everyone, see you around the board.
