right so 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

Highlights from this day
- dublin_dose — fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it 14:38
- nordic_price_nils — resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly 16:04
- protein_floor — meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works 19:15

whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
1.6 per kg
eat more please

unrelated but a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it
follow up i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
smaller containers
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
while im here family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly

protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
drink it if you cant eat it
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
a shake is food
quick one bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat

anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps
for the archive liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
front load it
coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee

sorry to jump in genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
add salt
update from 10 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
fibre from food
30 a sitting

the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work, someone check my working
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works

if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
coming back to this how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg
