Highlights from this day
  • cass_cagri — you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it protein per meal matters more than per day once you are… 15:20
  • flint_fills — i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference 15:28
  • flint_fills — prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten 15:46
  • flint_fills — coming back to this i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not 16:39
  • reta_resting_hr — genuine question electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything 17:23

protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting

i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly

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

coming back after 17 months, what did people change about food that stuck

bioimpedance is a mood ring

PP

how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

FF

resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass

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