Highlights from this day
- plateau_pen — genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it 15:39
- fake_tracking — i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly 16:20
- fake_tracking — alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five 16:56

cold food is easier

small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
dexa if you can
sorry to jump in i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two

is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
1.6 per kg
is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it, i could be wrong
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
| Target weight | 1.6 g/kg | 1.8 g/kg |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 96 g | 108 g |
| 70 kg | 112 g | 126 g |
| 80 kg | 128 g | 144 g |
| 90 kg | 144 g | 162 g |
| 100 kg | 160 g | 180 g |
protein first
how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish
bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat
while im here i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five

smaller containers
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work

update from 14 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected, n of 1 obviously
im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start
