How many calories?

First off I know a deca only cycle is not ideal but I am too concerned about sides. I am currently on deca 400 a week for 10weeks.....I am concerned that I am not eating enough. How many calories should I be taking in each day? My protein is fine I am averaging about 2g per lb each day....I am 6-1 185lbs and am trying to stay fairly lean. Thanks

if you are concerned about side effects then you have made a poor choice in my opinion. I hope you have an 'understanding' girlfriend. lol

protein is the most important thing to worry about. The calories you get from your diet and protein should be sufficient. Add some Test to your Deca before your member goes in to hybernation.

definitely add something, and make sure you have some post cycle therapy drugs as well. The deca will shut down the HPTA for quite a long time, so the chances of getting gyno afterwards exist.

I would follow rj420's and others advice, but too answer your question, I would assume you are already pretty lean at 6'1" 185. Shoot for about 15-20 calories per pound of bodyweight and pay attention to your body. All bodies and metabolisms are different, you must figure out what's best for you. I actually stay leaner at 25 cals/pd than at 15. It is a matter of how your metabolism reacts to be increase/decrease in consumption.
