Highlights from this day

area_percent — i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, n of 1 obviously 14:56
courier_vs_post — i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two 15:47
courier_vs_post — prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten, not advice obviously 15:55

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

1.6 per kg

i lost 34 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through

protein first

i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up

a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work, thats just me

i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference

is a protein shake cheating or is it just food

i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two

fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it

coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee

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

prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten, not advice obviously

thats too few calories

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

alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
