Highlights from this day
- taste_changed — im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start 03:04
- pinch_not_stretch — if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out, ask me again in a month 03:47
- taste_changed — i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it 04:04
- underfill_uma — 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, still working it out 04:43

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

i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it, from memory
