I am on TRT, and the biggest benefit from TRT is that even with an increase from only 300 to 600 there is significant 39% abdominal fat reduction seen in studies.We weren't talking about steroids, but steroids as a whole do very little for fat loss.
The biggest benefit you get out of say TRT in a deficit is the ability to retain muscle in a caloric deficit. You also don't need to eat that 0.3g/lb BW fat to maintain sufficient hormones.
How educated are you on steroid use? Have you used any yourself?
That actually makes no sense since steroids help build muscle quickly, that new muscle is metabolically active and as such it will have a significant impact on your metabolism and the amount of calories your body needs on a daily basis, even at just a base BMR level, especially if you are putting on significant amounts. That likely comes down to how much they are eating, which is likely to be in a caloric surplus since they are trying to gain muscle.
They also tend to make fat cells insulin resistant and muscle cells insulin sensitive at least Testosterone specifically does and Tren as well.
