#food-and-training 2026-05-09

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

160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25

coming back after 14 months, what did people change about food that stuck

alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five, ymmv

greek yoghurt

sorry to jump in how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know

the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel

front load it

bioimpedance is a mood ring

how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg

slightly off topic but resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass

update from 3 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected

smaller containers

drink it if you cant eat it

i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly

you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it

at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week, take that with a pinch of salt

if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more, still working it out

im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start

is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up

prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten

how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it

slightly off topic but resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly

nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards

add salt

30 a sitting

if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out, i could be wrong

update on the earlier thing coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now, ymmv

whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it

a shake is food

genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it

what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills

small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week, from memory

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

dexa if you can
