- ferritin_fay — do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby 22:30
- thirty_min_wait — you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it 23:21
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
30 a sitting

a shake is food

protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish

if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
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
the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me, i have it written down somewhere

Digest for the week of 2024-10-03 has been published.
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
drink it if you cant eat it
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it

prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel
