Highlights from this day
- ari_arrives — electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets 14:16
- ari_arrives — the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel 14:18
- tb500_tobias — family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year 14:23
- vialkeeper — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me 14:41
- group_buy_gwen — unrelated but i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two 15:21
sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 26 in 19 months
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it
how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing
🙏1
if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out
im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start
Reminder set. I will post here in 6 days.
dexa if you can
sorry to jump in resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
while im here i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference, someone check my working
electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets
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 problemcold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel

prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten, anyway
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year

a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
private_script_priim eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i…
ok so creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied

which with no appetite is the actual problem⚠️8
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills
ok so coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee
greek yoghurt
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
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, i could be wrong
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
follow up i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
