Highlights from this day
  • step_one_sian — liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut 19:57
  • amylin_amy — im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter 21:08
  • amylin_amy — meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works 21:27
SS

prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten

PB

creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied

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

genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference

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
SS

right so electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not

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