Highlights from this day
  • step_one_sian — i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it, thats just me 19:33
  • see_a_clinician — sorry to jump in if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more 20:54
  • peak_split — i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly, take that with a pinch of salt 20:57
  • peak_split — coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now 20:59

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

a shake is food

dexa if you can

CO

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

VI

coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee
bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat

i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not

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

PS

resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly

PS

do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby

sorry to jump in dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all

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

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

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