Highlights from this day
- homa_ir_hugo — resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly 17:36
- ghk_gia — slightly off topic but if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more 18:18
- homa_ir_hugo — bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat 18:57

thats too few calories
*that should say weekly
coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee
whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
30 a sitting

electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
while im here what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills
[edited]small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it, ill dig out the number
cold food is easier
smaller containers
two sessions a week
bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat
[edited]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
