  • @lynn_glenmont Hi, thank you for your answer. I think I am eating that amount partly because I have some history with food related fears and anxiety, and I am therefore more on the restrictive side. I am trying to overcome it by eating more intuitively and listen to my hunger cues, but it's pretty hard when your brain is…
  • @AnnPT77 Thanks for your answer! It makes me optimistic to hear that it is indeed possible to hit a good amount of protein without eating on a surplus or meat. I can't believe it though, that you manage to eat so much protein without any supplements, so I am really curious to check out your diary. Thanks for sharing it!
  • @jennacole12 Thank you so much for your answer! It was very helpful, and positive :) I will try egg whites in oatmeal, but I just have one question - do you think it's possible to have them in overnight oats, or does it have to be cooked?
  • Thank you, I will check it out in more detail! I tried to add protein powder to my yoghurt and my oats but I absolutely hate the flavour and texture, and it would leave me bloated and extremely uncomfortable. I would prefer to stick to just one scoop per day and that's it, and get the rest from my foods. But the tables…
  • Thank you. But how does that go with bulking? Isn't what you're saying strictly maintaining? Cause if I eat as much as I burn based on my resting metabolic rate + calories burned from lifting weights there will be no muscle gains. I though the app could count that in, but maybe I need to adjust that for myself and add some…
  • I should also add that eating only 1800 kcal will leave me pretty hungry and most likely just loose weight and I highly doubt that I will see any muscle gain from that small amount.. Just my thoughts.
