- coffee_only — how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know 22:50
- coffee_only — meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works 23:09
- apob_over_ldl — 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 23:16
- coffee_only — protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting 23:28
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
greek yoghurt
coming back after 6 months, what did people change about food that stuck
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
two sessions a week
what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills
i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two
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
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
smaller containers
thats too few calories
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
[edited]alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
dexa if you can
