Highlights from this day
- mg_per_ml — the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work 21:31
- endotoxin_ed — while im here fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it, n of 1 obviously 21:54
- pharmac_pen — nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards, not advice obviously 23:17
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
✅1🎉1
thats too few calories

i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
while im here resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
follow up how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish

coming back after 17 months, what did people change about food that stuck
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
add salt

for the archive sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 31 in 18 months
does the room think about protein per meal or per day
📉15🙏16
while im here i lost 6 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps

unrelated but prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten, ymmv
1.6 per kg
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
update from 22 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
follow up electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets
[edited]at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week

i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year
coming back to this how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
👍6🙏17❤️2
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
bioimpedance is a mood ring
two sessions a week

how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing
