@teriinnevada I feel like I’ve discovered a life hack

@teriinnevada So you’re saying I get to eat a lot and I also get to build muscle?

@teriinnevada Oh interesting. So it could be more than just the calories I’m burning from working out. Have you been through this process? I’d love to hear about folks’ experiences.

@andy82 I definitely expected to see some extra appetite but I’m eating way more than I think I’m burning from lifting weight s

@sj81 I couldn’t give you an exact number but I’d estimate between 1800-2000 most days.

@tlb73737 Thank you!

@tlb73737 Did you go through this process yourself?

@tlb73737 Also I wanted to add that I do find my diet quite satisfying and I do have treats when I’m craving them. I’d say I hit a good balance of healthy and yummy, it’s just recently I’m eating soooooo much more than I normally would. It feels like an uncontrollable monster appetite! Like how...

@concettacarpenter Do you remember how long it took for you to gain 5lbs and go down a clothing size? I’ve always heard that body recomposition is a slow slow process, but I know I can definitely gain 5lbs pretty quickly!

@grace14 You know what, you’re so right! I ate (what I thought was) super protein-focused today and didn’t even get to 80g. Wow. Thank you for giving such a detailed response

@grace14 I’m also working from home and it really is a huge privilege. Not to mention working from home means that I can work out in the middle of the day. Health is a privilege on so many levels.

@grace14 That is impressive. I’ve saved your post so I can use it as meal planning inspiration next week. Damn though, it seems like hard work to get in all that protein.

@grace14 Out of interest, what does a typical day of eating look like for you to be getting in 135g of protein?

@dawn16 Thank you. So you two are giving vastly different numbers here- 1g/kg of body weight would put me at 60g protein, which I have been meeting, but @Deep_Significance496 is saying 135, and I’m nowhere near that number. What does a typical day of eating look like for you when you’re making...

@nerissa1969 What’s a PAL?

@bbg Maybe that’s why my weight stayed more or less the same despite me eating more than 1600 calories.

@elissanjuice Calorie calculators always tell me something like 1600 and I always figured that number applied to me because I don’t have a lot of muscle mass and I’m pretty sedentary. ETA if you’ve been lifting for a while and have a high muscle mass I would think that would contribute to a...

@1235784truwp I’m glad to hear others are in the same boat. I’m eating a protein bar as I type this, send help.

@razel I sleep as well as can be expected as the mother of a toddler. Some of it is outside of my control, there are occasional 2am potty fiascos, but most nights I go to sleep super early to make sure I get 8 solid hours before my kid wakes me up at 5am.

@moviez5 How much is “more than that”? I’m drinking about two liters every day as a baseline
