I've heard some people eat too little, especially from protein and that is a problem.

If you count calories, what are the foods you have to watch out for or careful with?

What foods do you find to be very filling yet not necessarily the highest volume?

A few years ago Casey Neistat made a video about restaurants', convenience stores' food items and their calories. He took them to a lab where they actually measured these food items calories and he found that Subway was the most accurate.

Which chains do you trust the most?

I’m taking 2 tablets of cab twice weekly. My testosterone, after two years on cab, is still on the lower end. Thinking about starting TRT. I am curious to hear from guys who are taking both. I’m an active 49 years old.

I have a prolactinoma, about 2x2cm that was discovered by an annual checkup a few years ago. I had extremely high prolactin levels, 1850. Brain MRI showed the prolactinoma. My test levels were low but my doc said after taking cabergoline, my test levels might recover. Well, it did to some degree, but it’s still on the lower end of normal.
I’m otherwise healthy. 49 years old, and active, 5-6 times in the gym per week.
Anyways, what I want to find out if there are other men here with the same condition as me and if on cab, what is your experience being on TRT as well?
Thanks

I hope it helps new members.
