coming back to this whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it

is a protein shake cheating or is it just food

at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week

do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
smaller containers
greek yoghurt
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
add salt

i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 47 in 11 months
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied

electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
eat more please

dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all
Archive lookup: identity_shift first appears in this channel on 2025-01-30.
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
Reminder set. I will post here in 9 days.
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
*week 11 not week 8
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it, i could be wrong

while im here is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
two sessions a week
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it
bioimpedance is a mood ring
fibre from food
30 a sitting
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
front load it
1.6 per kg
slightly off topic but how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing

cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps, someone check my working
dexa if you can
drink it if you cant eat it
while im here i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference, still working it out
