Unanswered Bloodwork and questions
Started at 234 and 26.8% BF in April. Currently 202 and 20% BF. May be a touch lower now but no less than 19%. I haven’t had it checked in about two weeks. Up until about two years ago when I started a business I was always in shape and fairly lean (15-16% BF). Being on the road all the time... -

I just spit my coffee out. Yeah cals are low. I have tried to up them but I am just not hungry at this point. I have to force myself to consume even 1800 calories. I am sure my stomach was shrunk. Great discussion guys. I am appreciate the advice. -

Yeah I agree. The reason I said that is I recently upped my carbs to around 50 g net per day. I haven't measured my ketone levels for about two weeks but I suspect I would be in that 0.5 mmol/L range which is the "start" of ketosis. -

See below. For 12 weeks I was keeping net carbs at or around 30 g. Ketones measured via blood samples were typically around 2.0 mmol?L although they ranged from 0.5 to almost 3.0 mmol/L. -

Approximately 30 grams of that is fiber (primarily soluble). I was eating around 30 g of net carbs per day but recently upped my carbs a bit. I dropped around 31 lbs over the course of 12 weeks and I am happy with my currently weight thus the reasoning for upping carbs. -

Yeah I could certainly sleep more. I average under 7 a night for sure. I don’t drink or smoke and do not take any medications though. I also do not consume sugar and drink a ton of water every day along with being in the gym 3-4 times a week. Either I just have naturally low T or it’s my... -

Damn really? The research I have seen showed 6 mg/day increased the availability of free test. I haven't seen an upper limit though. Taking 6 mg at the moment. -

Thanks for all the responses fellas. Will up calories a bit via primarily fats and protein. Also supplementing with iron, b12, and boron which I do not expect to have much impact on test levels. For the past 12 weeks I have been lifting in the 16-20 rep range with lighter weight. Today I moved... -

For the last several years I have been dealing with reduced libido and fatigue (especially in the afternoons). After I started a keto-ish diet (14 weeks ago), things seemed to get even worse especially on the libido front so I decided to order a full blood panel to see if anything was out of the... -

Unanswered Total serum estrogen levels
Not sure how I have three of these posts. I edited the original post so perhaps it made a new post instead of editing the old one. The site was really slow on that particular day. Thanks for the heads up. -

I did not. Should have gotten E2 tested. I will next time. -
Unanswered Total serum estrogen levels
Just got back a bunch of blood work including a hormone panel. One of the parameters measured was “Total Serum Estrogen”. Is this the same as estradiol or is estradiol just a component? Also the normal range says 60-190 pg/ml. What is an ideal range? I am 35 years old - male. Thanks - TM -
