thats too few calories
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
slightly off topic but does the room think about protein per meal or per day
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not

how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
dexa if you can
sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 28 in 15 months

is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets

update on the earlier thing whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate
eat more please
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
for the archive is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
drink it if you cant eat it

a shake is food
what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills

liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it
cold food is easier
update from 8 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly, i could be wrong
front load it

Inter-lab diff for lot D-0718: 99.2% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat, n of 1 obviously
please dont go lower
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
smaller containers
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 problem1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
sorry to jump in dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all

protein first
family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year
update on the earlier thing coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
update from 6 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
*Janoshik not the other one
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
