Water retention and diet during cycle
ad
My diet is fairly clean, not much sugar, low carb and no cereal or wheat.
I'm running a 500mg test e cycle and not holding much water at all.
Sometimes I can't avoid sugar and carbs - traveling/family events and such and I notice my weight goes up a kilo the next day, obviously water retention as it drains out a day or two later when I have been eating clean again.
If I understand right though, the muscles benefit being full of water to help them take up the nutrients from the food.
So should I be adjusting my diet and eating more carb so I keep more water than I am?

Depends on what your goal for the cycle is. You can manipulate your diet however you want to, just depends on what you want to accomplish.
Looking to bulk, so I guess I need the water!
Lol yup, definitely need some clean carbs in there. And being a little loose with your diet sometimes is ok, hell unless you are in a contest prep I think it's almost necessary. Helps keep the sanity ;-)
Everything in moderation, if you feel like you are too bloated you know what to do to manipulate your diet to get things under control. Any blood work done recently?
yep
