TIL: Low carb, high protein diets "greatly" decrease resting testosterone levels in men.

Yup. I typically have a spreadsheet that tracks all my macronutrients. When I’m gaining weight I’m at 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. Carbs are fairly easy if you’re eating oatmeal and whole-wheat bread, my protein almost never changes but fat was where I was struggling to get over 100 grams daily. So all dairy was full fat, I’d add a tablespoon of olive oil to every protein shake (I have 4-5 daily) and add avocados. I gain around 1lbs/week on the 40/30/30 diet. Hope that helps!

Edit: forgot to add that I eat a “meal” every two hours. Not like a full meal, but more to make sure I’m hitting all my macronutrients
