No it doesn't. Ectomorphs have to eat more alot more in order to gain weight. Mesomorphs build easily endomeomorphs put weight on very easy and have to watch what they eat.
Eating the 6 smaller meals a day keeps the body from storing food as fat so long as the total caloric intake does not exceed the maintenance for bmr and tdee.
It is recommended that 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight taken in. At 315 pounds times 1.5 grams of protein equals 472.5 grams protein intake total. A general 40% protein 40% carbohydrates and 20% fat is very good for weightloss. Dropping the fat to 15% and increasing the protein to 45% shifts the body to burn more of its own fat for energy.
Staying at 40 percent carbs allows enough glycogen to be replaced and aid in the repair of muscle tissue. The high end protein grams divided inot 6 to 7 meals for the day keeps a steady supply of amino acids in the body at all times ready to go to repair the muscles after working out.
When it comes to the thyroid the terms hypo and hyper actually mean the opposite of their natural definitions. Hyperthyroidism is actually a very slow thyroid and hypothyroidism is very fast. I got a nice lecture from my doctor about it when I got ordered to stop taking t3 as the t3 was the cause and I had no valid reason to be taking it.

Exercise post oxygen consumption also plays a part in a person's metabolism. Cardio will increase your metabolism for up to 14 hours via epoc. Too much cardio will put a persons body into a catabolic state. Weightlifting will actually increase a person's metabolism for up to 48 hours via epoc.

This is turning into a good discussion here!
Imo...OP should follow the most basic plan. Keep it simple.
Eliminating sugar and snacks... do cardio 3 to 4 times a week and weight train 3 to 4 times a week.
I think 300 grams of protein is slightly low...maybe 350 to 400 is a better place to start.
We just need OP to get the ball rolling and come back with daily and weekly input..with more pics and such.....run a log.

I'm not sure what your doctor is telling you but hyperthyroidism is an over active thyroid producing too much t3/t4 and hypothyroidism is the underproduction of t3/t4. Whst is opposite is in hyperthyroidism is TSH is low and Vica versa in hypothyroidism.
Any literature will tell you that a clear sign or hyperthyroidism would be weight loss, the reason we bodybuilders use it.
Your doctor told you to stop taking the t3 the same reason he would your testosterone , it was not prescribed under a physicians care, unless you are on TRT but you catch my drift

Ive been getting my TSH checked yearly. Last May it was 4.32. This May its in the mid 3. My doc said its normal for it to fluctuate and wont give me t4 unless its constantly in the mid 4s or higher. From what Ive read many docs in other countries want it to be 2.5 or lower. So I decided to self medicate with t3.

If you're running growth I wouldn't be surprised if your T4 was low I'm not sure the mechanism for which this happens but it will lower your output of T4

I can run a log no problem. It will keep me on track. I have attached a photo of my bod pod results from May of 2016. There was a cart that had instruments that measured my oxygen inhaled and co2 exhaled and that gave me my resting metabolic rate.
I think I am going to go in the middle of the road with the calories and see what happens. I will take in 2500 calories which is 300 less than what my rmr was last year.
I am going high protein, low carb. Macros are protein 313g, carbs 31g, and fat 125g.
So, if my calorie needs are in fact much higher I will be doing a protein sparing modified fast.

So far the changes are:
Going almost no carb
Reducing k/cal to 2200 per day
Cutting out the anavar
Hgh in morning then fasted cardio

Good stuff man. Just remember too that you want to make slow changes. If you start starving yourself and doing a shit load of cardio right away you will be setting yourself up for failure. Slow and steady changes wins the race. Good luck with your progress
