Highlights from this day
- nordic_price_nils — greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing 19:26
- gus_charts — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me, take that with a pinch of salt 19:53
- gus_charts — the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel, thats one data point update from 2 months ago: fixed my protein, the… 19:58
- two_three_lifts — dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all 20:51
for the archive is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
coming back after 19 months, what did people change about food that stuck
liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
protein first
how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish
how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing

whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
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
fibre from food

a shake is food
add salt
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
drink it if you cant eat it
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all

update from 8 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected, not advice obviously

i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
