Highlights from this day
- marrow.mod — how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing 01:39
- marrow.mod — did anyone get body composition measured before and after 02:01
- underfill_uma — i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two 05:21
- fake_tracking — coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now 06:06
- mag_citrate — electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything 06:10
right so genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
fibre from food
[edited]liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut, still working it out
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it

ok so i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
did anyone get body composition measured before and after
im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start
sorry to jump in the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it
protein first
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two

nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
[edited]coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
