Highlights from this day
  • alcohol_hits — the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work, ask me again in a month 16:40
  • hair_month_four — small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week 17:01
  • alcohol_hits — for the archive coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now 17:28

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

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

AA

how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish

you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it

AH

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

AH

greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing

AH

for the archive coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now

AA

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

AA

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

AH

dexa twice a year if you can afford it. the cheap scale will tell you a new story every day and none of them are true

KF

anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number

AH

if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out

KF

1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day

AH

if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more

KF

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

AH

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

AA

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

BS

for the archive resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass

AA

30 a sitting

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

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

AA

is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
