yea I agree u can add the calories back in a bit faster.. most men will bump by 300 per week. so since your a little reluctant to move too fast, just go up 100 cal per week. until you see the desired result.. I think its harder to notice it because of the effects of the follidrone. its GDA properties alone are capable of shunting the nutrients deep into the muscle which is quite evident in your pics.. your weight might not have changed much but your definitely leaner and that just tells me your doing a great job of making forward progress, adding mass and losing fat. it doesn't get much better than what you are achieving. just stay the course and your going to get where you want to be.
as for your concerns about seeing your obliques from day to day, remember the body is fighting you the whole time you are making these changes. it could be any thing from diet, stress, hormones, ect causing you to hold water even making you think your gaining fat. this is why testing your fat at this stage is very helpful. you never want to do something drastic to fix a problem like holding water. thinking you lost control, when in fact its just "body trickery" fooling you.
stick to your plan, and remember slow and steady wins the race~
