Highlights from this day
- gorse_gains — bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat 19:47
- alcohol_hits — 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 20:53
- gorse_gains — fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it 20:58
coming back after 25 months, what did people change about food that stuck
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
resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
30 a sitting
drink it if you cant eat it
eat more please
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
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 problemhow many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work
protein first
