- cat_on_the_tray — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric… 15:28
- cat_on_the_tray — genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it 16:04
- no_appetite_nia — creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied, i could be wrong 16:32
- sol_sends — coming back to this resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly 17:32
- cat_on_the_tray — bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat 19:47
meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
30 a sitting
im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards, for what its worth
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 98.1% vs 96.8%. Within expected range.

1.6 per kg
if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out
right so is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
🙏8🎉1
i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps
please dont go lower
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it

electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
front load it
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
a shake is food

dexa if you can
alcohol hits me twice as hard now, has anyone else had that

i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
coming back after 20 months, what did people change about food that stuck
💀7
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
sorry to jump in what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills
eat more please
does the room think about protein per meal or per day
how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites
ok so how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish
drink it if you cant eat it

cold food is easier
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five

whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
