fibre from food

whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week, ymmv
i lost 48 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
greek yoghurt
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says

the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel
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

im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work
if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out

the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me, your mileage will differ
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten

dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all
follow up i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, thats one data point
how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish
🎉17📉5✅18
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
update on the earlier thing bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat
how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites

cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps, i have it written down somewhere
update from 5 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
thirty_min_waitgreek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it…
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
