the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me

Highlights from this day
- LC_MS_Lena — how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know 12:39
- tail_factor — creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied 14:51
- evidence_or_not — nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards 14:56
- hydrate_hana — update on the earlier thing liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut 17:38
- plateau_pen — electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk.… 17:39
cold food is easier
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
front load it
a shake is food
update from 1 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected, from memory
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
smaller containers

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

how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate
eat more please
[edited]add salt
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
greek yoghurt
how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites

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

| 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 |
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
while im here if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
ok so resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel
*PeptideMeter not the other one
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
update on the earlier thing liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
does the room think about protein per meal or per day
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
1.6 per kg
