Highlights from this day
  • coa_or_cope — ok so update from 26 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected 19:12
  • coa_or_cope — how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing 19:33
  • coa_or_cope — resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly 19:57
  • flint_fills — i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference 20:17
  • flint_fills — fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it 20:21

how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing

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

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

30 a sitting

i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two

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