Highlights from this day

third_shift — coming back to this the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel 20:35
night_pin — greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing, thats one data point 21:33
group_buy_gwen — unrelated but you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it, i could be wrong 21:34
provincial_pat — fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it, we shall see 21:37

small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week

fibre from food

i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly

coming back to this the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel

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 problem

prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten

i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two

160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25

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

update from 22 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected

greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing, thats one data point
