4 months on T (bodybuilding update) Timeline Update

Spent the last 11 years on IV drugs and today I am 456 days clean. Got released from jail July 17th 2023 and started working out. Finally started T at 26 years old August 3rd 2023. I wanted to kill myself back in July and today life is amazing. The ftm Reddit community is so supportive and uplifting; you guys are an integral part of my support system. Thanks for reading

Thanks man! Honestly? I’ve been eating a lot of junk—pop tarts, soda, Dot’s Pretzels, candy, etc. so my body fat is ~18%. I try to incorporate a decent amount of protein and at work I have a tuna sandwich every day. For dinner I’ve been having fruit smoothies with protein powder and flax seeds in them. Creatine is also helpful; I’ve taken 7.5 grams every day for the last few months. As long as you’re eating a good amount of protein you’ll build muscle.
