TRT nutrition: meal plans and recipes.
I’m a cook, not a doctor — your dosing and bloodwork live with your clinic. What I do is feed you well around it. Testosterone gives you the tools; food is what you build with. So we eat like it matters: plenty of protein, heart-smart fats, colourful food for the micros, enough carbs to train hard. Sturdy, sensible eating that supports a body on TRT. You handle the medical side; let me handle dinner. I’ve got you.
A note, plainly: this is food guidance, not medical advice. Nothing here treats, diagnoses, or replaces your clinic. We never cover dosing, sourcing, or how to use any medication — talk to your doctor about your TRT and your bloodwork. We just cook the meals around it.

How I’d have you eat on TRT.
02 / The principlesProtein, so you can use it
Testosterone gives you the tools to build; protein is what you build with. Keep it high — around a gram per pound a day — and spread it across your meals so your body always has what it needs.
Heart-smart fats, not fat-free
Lean on olive oil, fatty fish, eggs and a little real dairy. Don’t strip fat out of your diet — your body needs healthy fats to run well. Just pick the good ones and let them do their work.
Real food for the micros
Colourful, whole food covers the unglamorous stuff — zinc, magnesium, vitamin D-rich choices. Eat liver, eggs, fish, greens and a rainbow of veg, and you’ve handled most of it without thinking.
Eat to train, recover to grow
Keep enough carbs around your sessions to train hard, and enough total food to recover. TRT supports the work — it doesn’t replace it. Feed the training and let the results follow.

04 / FAQDoes what I eat actually matter on TRT?
It matters a lot. Testosterone gives your body the signal to build, but food is the raw material — protein to grow, fats to keep your system running, micros to fill the gaps, carbs to train hard. You can be perfectly managed by your clinic and still feel flat if you’re underfed. Good eating is how you make the most of it.
What foods support a body on TRT?
Nothing exotic — sturdy, whole food does the job. Plenty of protein, heart-smart fats from olive oil, fatty fish and eggs, and a wide spread of colourful veg, liver and dairy for the micros like zinc, magnesium and vitamin D. No single food is magic; the whole diet is what matters. Every recipe here is built around that idea.
Can you help me with my TRT dose or bloodwork?
No, and I’d never try — that’s a hard line. Dosing, sourcing, bloodwork and anything in the needle belong with your doctor or clinic, full stop. I’m a cook. What I can do is feed you well around whatever your clinic has you on, with real macros and no judgment.
Should I eat differently to bulk or cut on TRT?
The TRT eating principles stay the same — protein high, good fats, real micros — and you layer your goal on top. Add a modest surplus to build, run a modest deficit to lean down. If you’re not sure where to start, grab the free plan and we’ll set your numbers together.
