Frist cycle day 17

[BFG!@#]

Started my first cycle 17 days ago.
5'10" 200lbs 18% bf been lifting off and on for 25 years and hardcore for last 8 and I'm 41.
Cycle 10-12 weeks of test-e 500mg week and nolva for PCT
Been eating big, fisk,chicken,beef, brown rice,oats,eggs,vegis,protein shakes.
Supps= multi v , fish oil , thinking about starting creatine.
Day 4 of cycle my appetite became outragous, keeping it clean(mostly)
Day 14 starting to feel a slight pump
Day 16 workout at the gym went great lifting a little more weight than usual for more reps. I workout 45-75 minutes but this time I was into my workout for 2 hours(20minute cardio) and I had to force myself to leave.
I'm up to 213 lbs now and am a little concerned about putting on too much fat, going to the gym 3-4 days a week(chest/tri,back/bi,legs/shoulders) and 20 minutes cardio.
I'm looking for imput/advise to my cycle progression , do thing look like there going typical , maybe someone can let me know the progression of there first cycle test-e?

Can't help you either, but mabye this article off of t-nation.com might interest you. He's on different drugs, but he expresses some of the same feelings you've mentioned.

I don't see it being out of the norm. How many calories are you getting in a day? If you are concerned about gaining too much fat, you might want to lower you intake a little. You've picked up 13lbs in 16 days, actually now that I think about it that seems a little high. I would say this is mainly water gain, but you are still so early in the cycle and the test is still working towards its peak in the body. This is the time though that it will start to make a difference as it starts to peak. Better things are yet to come.

I should be watching my calories but....
Sample food intake today:
4egg burrito w/cheese,oatmeal 6am
9ish whole bundle of asparagus, leftover corn one the cobb
11:30 tuna sandwich w/cheese 1.5 cups brown rice
1:30 gym 2 hours PWO drink
4:30 same meal as 11:30
It's 5pm now got atleast another meal with a protein drink just before bed.
Guess I should count out the calories but no time got to go to the store buy more food, I'm putting my teenage son to shame in the quest to eat all food in house...

Do you have Microsoft Excel??? If so I can send you a worksheet that could help you out. All I do is put in the food description, Calories, and the macronutrient breakdown and the formulas total everything up for me. Its great since I can see exactly where I am for the day and what I need to do to get to my goal.

No all I have is word perfect. The more I read around the BB forums the more I'm learning how to dial in my diet as well as supplements. Just placed a rush order on supplements for a home made PWO drink.
And no my son doen't know but he may suspect something in a few weeks. Talked it over with my wife before I started ,she's not totally thrilled but she knows I put in the blood, sweat and years/tears naturally.So she supports me.
Don't know how I could eat more I'm so full all the time.
Trips to the gym are intense got to force myself to leave after 2 hours but I want to go longer.
Day 19 seeing slight changes in muscle size mostly in bi's , pec's , quads. (not that I would stare in mirror looking for change ,lol)

So should I eat more???
Cant stand fast food I smell that shit oozing out of my pours when I sweat at the gym, nasty.......
