switched from 0.25mg to 2.4mg and constipation got better, not worse — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. To save the first four comments:…

resistance training — 15 things I got wrong before I got it right. I have gone back and forth on this for months. What the evidence actually supports, stripped of the…
Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: someone explain protein to me like I have not read a paper in years. Strength retention is an…
44 weeks on 12.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. Posting the boring middle of the process, because the internet is full of the start and the end and nothing…
Sigma-Aldrich — certified reference materials
Reference standards, analytical reagents and system-suitability material. If you are running your own method, start with a known.
Reference standardsThinking out loud about this: resistance training is the most under-discussed thing on this board. Reduced appetite makes hitting a protein target a logistics problem…
Question in the title, detail here: how much of what we believe about DEXA actually comes from sarcopenia threads. Some lean mass loss accompanies weight loss in any…
does resistance training actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete. Tracked grip…
Update, and the title has the headline: is it normal to get reflux at week 68. Two scans on the same machine 24 months apart. Lean mass held better than I expected and…
Something I keep coming back to: tried protein for 24 weeks. here is what happened. Pulling the figures out of the title: 24 weeks. All of it is written down as it…
the FFMI advice in here is 3 years out of date. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. The relevant figures are 3 years, and they come…
Scale sat within half a kilo of itself for about eight weeks and I was fully prepared to call it a wall. Then a scheduled DEXA scan came back and told a completely…
48 weeks, 18kg, and DEXA was the hard part. This is a description of what happened to me and not a plan for anybody else. Pulling the figures out of the title: 48 weeks…
reading protein threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. Two scans on the same machine 5 months…
Thinking out loud about this: BIA vs DEXA on the same day, 6% apart, pick a method and stay with it. Hard numbers: 6%. Anything softer than that is flagged as an…
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: protein is doing more work than we give it credit for. How to make a DEXA comparison mean anything. Same machine, same…

Six-word version is the title — 14 weeks on 5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring — and the rest is context. 14 weeks and 5mg. Those are measured, not estimated,…
FFMI — what am I missing here — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. On comparing yourself to composition figures from trials. Published…
creatine while eating 1,400 calories — worth it, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Fat-free mass index is a ratio of…
Posting this because the title is the whole finding — two DEXA scans a year — lean mass held at 92% while fat mass halved — and a number without its method is a rumour.…
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: FFMI not weight, or you will celebrate losing muscle. Strength retention is an imperfect but free longitudinal proxy:…

The title is the argument: the sarcopenia question nobody funded properly. Here is the rest of it. Nothing here is a training or nutrition prescription. Targets and…
sarcopenia is doing more work than we give it credit for, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Started weighing protein rather than…
Reporting in. small win: protein stopped being a problem at week 41. Tracked grip strength and three lifts monthly. Cheaper than scanning and directionally the same…
