Highlights from this day

ollie_orders — electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything, n of 1 obviously 19:27
birch_bloods — sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 12 in 1 months 21:00
triumph_watch — i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, ill dig out the number 21:35
birch_bloods — for the archive two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it, happy to be corrected 21:41
triumph_watch — the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me 21:47

thats too few calories

a shake is food

anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number

two sessions a week

🔥11

eat more please

💀1👍14🤝1

how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know

how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites

how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate

whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem

sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 12 in 1 months

target weight 75kg
1.6 g/kg  = 120 g/day
1.8 g/kg  = 135 g/day
spread over 4 feeds = 30-34 g each
which with no appetite is the actual problem

i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, ill dig out the number

resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass

the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me

update from 14 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected, ymmv
