Highlights from this day
  • protein_floor — for the archive i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference 12:20
  • invoice_mismatch — i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly 12:27
  • revoked_ro — update on the earlier thing the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work, thats one data point 13:13
  • per_mg_pete — family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year 14:12

sorry to jump in i lost 3 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through

30 a sitting

two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it

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

alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five

update from 20 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected

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

genuine question 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

bioimpedance is a mood ring

target weight 75kg
1.6 g/kg  = 120 g/day
1.8 g/kg  = 135 g/day
spread over 4 feeds = 30-34 g each
which with no appetite is the actual problem

genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
