Highlights from this day
- still_here_2024 — bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat 20:33
- perth_pin — 1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day 20:52
- vial_ledger — slightly off topic but i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly, ill dig out the number 21:46
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it

drink it if you cant eat it
smaller containers
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out
1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day

dexa if you can
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 9 in 19 months
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
genuine question is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
eat more please
for the archive i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
thats too few calories
sorry to jump in how do you eat enough when youre full after four bites

ok so meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
fibre from food
30 a sitting
i lost 35 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through

how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate
quick one dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all
two sessions a week
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two, n of 1 obviously
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards

add salt
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
*PeptideMeter not the other one
please dont go lower

genuine question does the room think about protein per meal or per day
Reminder set. I will post here in 4 days.
protein first
