- is_this_forever — how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know 17:52
- meal_prep_mick — alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five 19:31
- sharps_comedy — greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing 20:23
- taper_or_not — 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 20:42
- sharps_comedy — small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week 20:58
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg
update from 20 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
protein first
did anyone get body composition measured before and after
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel, anyway
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week, i think
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it, from memory
is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
a shake is food
how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it
is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
1.6 per kg
electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
coming back after 2 months, what did people change about food that stuck
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it, still working it out
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
does the room think about protein per meal or per day
what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills
two sessions a week
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
i lost 32 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
update on the earlier thing how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, we shall see
*i meant subcutaneous
bioimpedance is a mood ring
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
how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites
im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
