Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 97.4% vs 99%. Within expected range. 22:54
- apob_over_ldl — genuine question is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up 22:57
- group_buy_gwen — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me 23:31
quick one genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
fibre from food
does the room think about protein per meal or per day

eat more please
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby

nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
thats too few calories

electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
Reminder set. I will post here in 2 days.
please dont go lower
i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference, take that with a pinch of salt
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
did anyone get body composition measured before and after
whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
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
while im here greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
smaller containers

a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
follow up update from 4 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected, someone check my working
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, n of 1 obviously
ok so meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
