Highlights from this day
- cagri_curious — im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start 20:27
- cagri_curious — small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week 21:43
- deamidation — whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem 21:56
- lot_number_lou — update on the earlier thing i lost 40 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through 22:57
genuine question how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

bioimpedance is a mood ring
genuine question alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five

i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works

anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
thats too few calories
front load it
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it, n of 1 obviously
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
dexa if you can
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
smaller containers

slightly off topic but if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat
eat more please
if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 30 in 1 months
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week

30 a sitting

fibre from food

resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem

please dont go lower

protein first
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
right so you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it, take that with a pinch of salt

coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two
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
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps
