for the archive nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards

160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25, i think

two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it, still working it out

please dont go lower

how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know

two sessions a week

i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly

genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it, ask me again in a month

1.6 per kg

follow up protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting

drink it if you cant eat it

while im here liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut

while im here electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything, i think

fibre from food

add salt

how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

front load it

update on the earlier thing did anyone get body composition measured before and after

dexa if you can
