Highlights from this day
- nordic_price_nils — i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far… 20:10
- knees_first — dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have… 20:20
- knees_first — alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five 20:34
- nordic_price_nils — the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel 20:50
- nordic_price_nils — ok so greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing 20:53
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly, anyway
dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
slightly off topic but small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
protein first
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
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five

fibre from food
coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel

protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year
1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
smaller containers
update from 26 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
[edited]the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
1.6 per kg
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
drink it if you cant eat it
update on the earlier thing bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat
two sessions a week
