Weight / Fat loss

I've got into a weird and counter-productive practice of only actually weighing in if I know I've been sticking to my intended eating plan for the next 24 hours. Gonna aim to stop that over next week.

Ive found that weighing after 3/4 hour bike rides gives a false sense of hope

If I drink until I puke, that's a double win, right?

i had planned to have leftovers, but didn’t quite work out that way!

I always have 25g+ protein per meal which I’ve found keeps me fuller between meals, beyond any muscle synthesis benefits.
My breakfasts currently consists of eggs, ham/bacon/smoked fish and tomatoes, and not hungry at all until lunch.

I have found early morning turbo sessions tougher without the carbs though.

If they're hard turbo sessions you should have some carbs. If it's just fasted, low power turbo rides then no bother.

That would involve a pile of heroin or cocaine also, no? I'm not sure I'm up for that big of a Friday night.

By Monday.

It's almost as if this research was done for athletes like us

He's a national hero and he only tested positive three times...

PM all your dealers numbers!

That's popped up about five times in my feed today and I've still not read it. Ok ok...

I was falling asleep by the second sentence of the abstract.
Possibly the Chinese Buffet for lunch may not be helping in that regard...

AFS (another fucking salad) here.

Just poured a double espresso and a mug of instant for a 'long' drink. Water is for beer...

They give you a nice key points summary:

Periodically completing endurance training sessions (e.g. 30–50% of training sessions) with reduced carbohydrate (CHO) availability modulates the activation of acute cell signalling pathways (73% of 11 studies), promotes training-induced oxidative adaptations of skeletal muscle (78% of 9 studies) and, in some instances, improves exercise performance (although only 37% of 11 studies demonstrated performance improvements).

We propose the presence of a muscle glycogen threshold whereby exceeding a critical absolute level of glycogen depletion during training is especially potent in modulating the activation of acute and chronic skeletal muscle adaptations associated with ‘train low’.

Future research should attempt to quantify the glycogen and CHO cost of endurance athletes’ typical training sessions so as to increase our understanding of the exercise conditions that may elicit the proposed glycogen threshold and thereby inform practical application of ‘fuel for the work required’ paradigm.

Pancake day, Valentines Day, Chinese New Year, not a great week for staying on plan.

The only one of those I noticed was pancake day and it was my partner's silly mistake telling me about it because I then nagged her to make pancakes. Val Day doesn't exist in my world and what's the go with Chinese New Year? When is it? What can I eat because of it? :)

There's no carbs in eating ass.

Doing it wrong.

Sweetcorn?

2420 net calories left today.
Thats some beer room.
That is all.

All the rice.

In the category "what protein bar"? I find PhD smart very edible and the protein supplement averse Manfriend happily eats them too.

Myprotein / Grenade / fulfil are ok taste wise but have this dry chewy feel which is not super.

I tend to chew on a NAKD bar, about as healthy as you can get as most seem a massive sugar hit.
Some of the EatNatural have added protein.
Have tried the zipvit, but would have to be desperate or unable to access other food types

I've gone from 92.8kg on Jan 1st to 89.2kg yesterday. 17% - 14% BF. Does that mean all the weight I've lost is fat?

That's popped up about five times in my feed today and I've still not eaten it. Ok ok...

Fixed.
