Highlights from this day
- subq_sy — does the room think about protein per meal or per day 01:36
- rezept_rolf — at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week, ymmv 03:40
- swirl_not_shake — prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten, happy to be corrected 04:13
does the room think about protein per meal or per day
target weight 75kg
1.6 g/kg = 120 g/day
1.8 g/kg = 135 g/day
spread over 4 feeds = 30-34 g each
which with no appetite is the actual problemi cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week, ymmv

whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work, thats one data point
front load it
coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it

meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it, thats one data point
