Oh fuck, well...
First of all, sorry for my bad English.
So, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism via TSH (7.89 before, now 3.8).
I get synthetic t4 to alleviate my body's break down, as my doc told me.
Now I read that the synthetic t4 is not only inferior to dessicated thyroid (which has t4, t3, t2, t1, and calcitonin), it is even dangerously useless and the TSH test is only good for checking abnormalities with the pituitary gland, which I seem to have according the still high scale.
I still learn about my illness and hopefully I can work through it.
Now to the actual problem:
I do not know how much my metabolism is fucked and how I can discern my possible new TDEE to cut down from 16-18% bf to 10%.
My calculated TDEE should have been about 2300 kcal (lightly active) if I were a normal healthy male and I eat about 2000-2100 kcal, which are:
min. 80g fat (saturated as unsaturated hinder my thyroid to work)
120g protein, as it is enough for me to build muscle.
the rest is always carbs.
Every week I train thrice (45-60min) and add about 1 to three jog sessions (30min) into my plan.
Strangely, I gain strength although I should either maintain it, or lose it a bit.
I must admit, it IS a slow progress, but it's still worrying, since cutting without agents should make a person lose a bit of power...
Is anyone knowledgeable and is willing to help?
I will answer every question the best I can.
