Highlights from this day
- cedar_counts — update from 22 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected 1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at… 17:29
- lean_mass_lex — cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps 17:45
- protein_floor — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me, i think 18:17
how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it

1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
add salt
is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start
please dont go lower
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps

thats too few calories
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel, still working it out
bioimpedance is a mood ring
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me, i think
drink it if you cant eat it
sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 30 in 15 months
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more, n of 1 obviously
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it
*PeptideMeter not the other one
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
[edited]how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
eat more please
1.6 per kg

fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
