I wake up drowsy, I have intense cravings for sugar, and my muscles aren’t repairing like they should.
When I eat enough protein that I don’t heavily crave it, I don’t crave sugar at all. If I eat protein and my drowsiness disappears, then I know I was deficient too.
If it’s taking me more than 2 days to recover a workout, it means I haven’t had enough protein. My fastest turnaround for a full body workout is 18 hours, but getting the 7-8 hours of sleep and 400g of protein while natty is hard so that doesn’t happen to often. No idea what that would be on gear. I can recover fine on 180+, it just takes longer. On 40mg of Tbol, I need almost double to see decent recovery.
