I would probably increase your total intake to be honest.

I'm natural and just under 12 stone and eat more than that.
Currently
3,500kcal
Protein: 180-200g
Fat 60-90g
Carbs: 450 - 550g
I pretty much adjust those macros to hit my energy intake.

My point of view would be if I where to ever jump on AAS I'd eat a lot more to ensure I get the benefits of the cycle and focus on fat loss at a later date. Eat up, as at 6ft and 12stone I assume you're new(ish) to training and not even at your genetic limit so I'm sure a lot of growth is achievable.

But thought of eating it cold isn't too appealing.
