coming back to this what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills

i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not

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

FF

coming back to this i lost 40 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through

IW

if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more, ill dig out the number

GB

dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all

coming back after 25 months, what did people change about food that stuck

protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting

i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly

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

while im here i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it

two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me

cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps

FF

anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number

VO

sorry to jump in is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me

meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works

*that should say weekly

1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
