prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten

electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets

while im here 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

the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work

please dont go lower

160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25

dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all

meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works

a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work

i lost 19 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through

the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me

you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it, not advice obviously

bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat, take that with a pinch of salt

Reminder set. I will post here in 4 days.

how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year

front load it

cold food is easier

protein first

eat more please

im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start
