Highlights from this day
- triple_ag_tom — whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem 20:10
- sarcopenia_sam — genuine question how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate 20:35
- non_scale_win — update from 4 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected 20:49
- sulphur_burp — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me 20:53
- reta_resting_hr — electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets 23:17
coming back to this is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
*week 13 not week 4
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
cold food is easier
genuine question how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate

genuine question i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me

greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all
bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat, i have it written down somewhere
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
drink it if you cant eat it
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
dexa if you can

do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, anyway
electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets
