[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 209267, member: 15043"] I’m 5’5” and currently 155lbs. Probably 20% body fat I would estimate. Been working out since I was 14, so have a decent amount of muscle, and a very tiny belly. Not fat or anything, just a tiny layer of fat over my abs and around my love handles. If anything I actually worry about having low cortisol. Everytime I’ve tested it in the serum it’s normal, but on the lowish end. Had a 4 point saliva test done in 2015 when I first started experiencing brain fog and got into HRT. Doc said it looked fine. Looking back I wish I would of asked to see the results. But DHEA and cortisol have an inverse relationship, as far as I know. So if anything, my naturally high DHEA levels are indicative of lowish cortisol levels, not high. Could be wrong on that tho Appetite is good. I eat a ton of food each day. Way more than I’ve seen anyone else eat in a day, regardless of their size. 6 whole eggs, 80g white rice, 24g of honey for breakfast. Then quite a bit of fruit for desert. Lunch is 7oz of steak, 125g white rice, and tomato paste and I drink 8oz of coconut water. Again a decent amount of fruit for desert. Dinner is 7oz of steak, 125g white rice, 40g honey, and then some fruit for desert.
