calorie deficit effect on testosterone

[Deleted member 83386]

Anyone informed know how much being in a deficit affects your levels.

Say 3 months of a 600-700 cal deficit, it must affect your levels atleast a little

Your test probably isn’t going to drop that much if you’re reasonably lean, like 12-15%. Once you start cutting down into single digit bodyfat your test will definitely drop, you will feel bad. Macros are also important, fats in particular are important for the endocrine system. Not eating enough fats on a cut will tank your testosterone/libido

yea I thought it might not be alot im just coping tbh. Got my levels checked and they were mid asf. Hoping the deficit has lowered them a little
