    Hi I was wondering what your recommendation is for overall protein intake per day while on gear. Right now I'm on testoviron test e and NPP. My goals are to make some lean gains and maybe recomp a little more. I weight train 6 days a week 1and a half- 2 hours a day and a total of 120 minutes of cardio per week. (Stair climber after weight training) Now my Concern is I do not want to take in too much protein and convert it into fat. But also I want to get the best of my gear and make the best gains possible this cycle. As if right now I'm 210 pounds and about 10% body fat. All my protein per day comes from just one 40 grams whey protein shake and the rest Comes from i eat about 4-5 pounds of chicken breast per day. My carbs are at 250 grams per day, 100 grams coming pre workout. All my fats come from the chicken breasts and other indirect sources like oats and brown rice and whey protein. What are your thoughts to this approach ? Thanks for any any advice !! Your help is so much appreciated !

    Where you're at, I would probably start you out on at least 250g to about 300g, and then adjust from there. You can adjust cards and fats from there. Everyone is different though. Its hard to say without watching your progress and tweaking from there. Sounds like you're getting your protein from all clean sources, which is great. You can always use a lower cal source like a white fish, if you want to keep protein high while getting fewer cals. Or if you aren't looking full enough, you can always use a leaner beef to increase cals and add a few fats
