- tb500_tobias — liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut, i have it written down somewhere 19:14

- VialBot — Reminder for red_flag_ruby: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago. 21:08
- two_three_lifts — slightly off topic but fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it 21:09
add salt
liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut, i have it written down somewhere
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👀15⚠️2🎉4
a shake is food
whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
i lost 47 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through, still working it out
🙏2
30 a sitting
eat more please
is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start

if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more, i have it written down somewhere
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills

whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it
electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything, happy to be corrected
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
thats too few calories

1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg
resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
Reminder for red_flag_ruby: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago.

fibre from food
[edited]i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
please dont go lower
