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

Highlights from this day
- halifax_hplc — protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting 13:57
- eight_mm — anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number 14:47
- eight_mm — how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg 15:17
- provincial_pat — how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing 16:23
- van_isle_vial — fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it 18:07
update on the earlier thing do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps
two sessions a week
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25, someone check my working
dexa if you can
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter

sorry to jump in how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
update on the earlier thing i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
*that should say weekly
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works

how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
cold food is easier
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
coming back after 11 months, what did people change about food that stuck
how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it, ill dig out the number
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
front load it
