- dark_for_ten_days — how do you get 30 grams of protein into a breakfast you can actually finish, i have looked and cannot find it 10:00
stop, came back at month 14
oh wow, a friend spotted it
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week, small sample obviously
i track protein and nothing else. one number, easy to hit, easy to check, n of 1 obviously
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25, ill dig out the number
this is a plea not advice greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing, one number to track, that is all i manage
hope it settles, not the dose day
muscle is the thing you cannot easily get back, which is why the protein floor keeps coming up, density beats volume right now
bad week and the bad week minimum is worth deciding in advance. mine is one session and the protein floor, ask a professional if it matters
headaches went
dexa comparison in protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting
protein floor first, everything else second. that is most of what this channel says
steps over sessions
liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
eating more is sometimes the correct answer and this channel is bad at saying it out loud, not a dietitian
training question i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not, two sessions minimum
