Highlights from this day

manila_meniscus — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me 13:00
area_percent — unrelated but i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly 13:28
homa_ir_hugo — ok so two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it, happy to be corrected 14:03
area_percent — whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it 14:05

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

front load it

the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me

update from 25 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected

how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

1.6 per kg

cold food is easier

whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it

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
