- alcohol_hits — resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly 19:29
quick one protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work
i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two
1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
drink it if you cant eat it

prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
eat more please
thats too few calories

unrelated but did anyone get body composition measured before and after
dexa if you can
ok so whats a realistic calorie floor before it becomes an actual problem
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish
a shake is food
family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year, from memory
Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.
whats everyone doing for fibre because im struggling badly with it
is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week
sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 24 in 1 months
