Highlights from this day
  • tam_logs — sorry to jump in update from 12 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected 23:27
  • tam_logs — 1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day, still working it out the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things… 23:33
  • tam_logs — ok so 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 23:35
  • mira_pins — im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter 23:46
  • mira_pins — did anyone get body composition measured before and after 23:52

i lost 25 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through, from memory

do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby

bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat

1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day, still working it out
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work

ok so 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
