I gained 14 pounds in my first 2 weeks on Testosterone Enanthate 500mg (my first cycle). I know most of it is probably water weight, but I'm really worried about looking bloated. What should I do about this sudden weight gain?

Only eaten an average of 3500 calories which for a 220lb 6’3 guy isn’t very much at all

10lbs water and 3lbs glycogen, you may have gained 1lbs of muscle in 2 weeks.
Water weight will keep going up for a few more weeks although not at this rate.

Adding in some low dose Masteron Enanthate (50mg to 100mg per week) will get some of that water out of you.
If you're not keen on using Masteron you could use Proviron or an AI such as Aromasin.

If you started with half a gram of testosterone for your first cycle and are already experiencing side effects, it might be because you're using too much. You could have started with 300mg per week, which is what I would personally recommend going down to now. You've only been on half a gram for two weeks and are already experiencing side effects, so it might be a good idea to reduce the dosage to 300mg, as you should have done initially.

4 weeks into my cycle and I've gained 3 kilograms even though I'm eating 500 fewer calories than usual. 😅 lol. I know it's just water and glycogen. I'm taking 500mg of Testosterone Enanthate and Tbol. I'm still going to lower my Testosterone Enanthate dosage to 300mg per week.
