Flat? Is it the diet

[CNovaJason]

Hey bros.......I"m trying to gain some lean mass and do cardio once or twice a week to shed a small amount of body fat so I can get tighter looking. Running 500 mg weekly of EQ with Tren Acetate 75 mg EOD. Meals consist of.......breakfast 4 egg whites with 2 yolks 2 pieces of wheat bread, half glass of oj Meal 2 protein shake 40 grams protein.....meal 3 lunch, chicken breasts(1 or 2 with green beans and beef cuts or fish) meal 4 protein shake 40 g protein meal 5 usually same as meal 3 for lunch, and meal 6 or 7 is usually a shake before bed.......does anyone see anything that I could do to this diet to change things up and help me out a little? I"m not expecting miracles being 1-1/2 weeks into this cycle and all but I'm looking for some advice. 6'2", 214 lbs......25 yrs old this friday and about 15% body fat. I'm just feeling mushy, and flat right now......any advice will help thanks bros

Im no expert but I dont see any EFAs in there, other than that it seems pretty clean as long as your ratios are right and 1-1.5g/lb of protein. Also in your PWO shake do you have any simple carbs aka dextrose/maltodexin? Seems like with your cycle if you just keep what you're doing it'll start dropping with time.

Good diet for fat loss. And yes, it is the low carbs making you flat. I find a 3 on (low carbs), 1 off (high carbs) approach to work best. Day 4 bumping carbs, doubling or even tripling. This really replenishs your glycogen stores, filling the muscles back up and giving you the energy to get through the next few days of training and dieting.

Just don't expect to gain lean mass on this. You are either cutting, or bulking. You cannot do both at one time.
