Highlights from this day

knees_first — coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now, your mileage will differ 09:12
knees_first — creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied 09:15
triple_ag_tom — genuine question cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps 11:31

eat more please

genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it

genuine question i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it

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

greek yoghurt

electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets

at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week

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

dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all

bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat

bioimpedance is a mood ring

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 problem

two sessions a week

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

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

how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate

[edited]

family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year

genuine question cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps

im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start

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