whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it

coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now

front load it

drink it if you cant eat it

update from 8 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected, we shall see

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

follow up i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards

sorry to jump in im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start

i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it

liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut

anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number

fibre from food

at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week

unrelated but does the room think about protein per meal or per day
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25

eat more please

i lost 31 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through, i have it written down somewhere

Recon calculator: 20mg in 3ml = 2.5mg/ml.

fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it

i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
