  • No there's no joke. It's the same beetle, top and bottom. Split down the middle to be genetically male and female

  • Oh you know what I actually should have read this more closely. I'm not undermuscled or low energy. I feel fine, I'm just losing a lot of weight and want to start building it back. Like I mentioned in the post, I know how to build weight, and I've done it before. I'm going to increase my protein intake and particularly use healthy carbs and fats for fuel. I mostly made the post as a way to find specific food/meal examples to do so because I haven't thought about it in a long time and have just been kind of eating whatever so I don't remember what my options are. I got lucky and a trainer responded who was also able to give me some advice on how to hit the gym more effectively once I have the means to do so

  • No I know what you're getting at but I'm like going too far with it right now. I have almost nothing to keep my body going day to day lmao I need to have at least a little bit of life on my bones

  • Yeah my diets fine. That's why I'm not asking for a diet change, I'm asking for some specific food examples that fit into my diet

  • They're not impossibly cheap. They just require support from a larger group like a government subsidy instead of a single corporation's influence.

    If there's nothing wrong with the quality of the product then they're not doing anything wrong. They're just challenging the rest of the world to reduce their prices and increase their quality to beat the competition.

  • I'm aware. I'm also aware that my family has had issues with their tonsils for several generations - especially as they get older. I'd rather bite it in the ass when before they cross the line into harming instead of helping. I'm gonna talk to an orthodontist or whatever and get their opinion on when would be best to do that.

    I appreciate the reminder to be diligent

  • I genuinely believe this is great advice. Just not for me in particular. I've followed that diet before and had great success with it, I've also had great success with my current diet. I don't believe that a huge change in my diet is necessary for my goals. I just need some specific food examples that fit in my diet because it's been a while since I've really thought about this stuff and I could use a refresher on my options.

    Currently I mostly get protein from meat substitutes, nuts, dairy and supplements. I plan to start tracking my macros so ensure I'm actually getting enough protein but I know I'm probably closer than most people are, including meat-eaters, when they first start thinking about it since I do have some base-level knowledge on the subject already. I hit around 40 to 50 thousand steps a day when I work, and am pushing/pulling anywhere between 50 and 500 lbs all day. I intend to do more strength training particularly in my arms, back and legs to keep myself balanced.

  • Ya know, I bet there was some stupid financial decisions that went into it. I just thought it was cool that we could see the cable management cause it was done pretty well lmao

    I wasn't there long enough to bother looking that deep into that kind of thing, but I'll probably think about it the next time I see some dumb shit like that lol

  • Agreed. You're not taking the risk, don't make the decision for me. I'll go when I feel it's safe for me to do so.

  • I bitch about this constantly. My partner and I love to walk around town, and people will stop let us cross at weird points in the street. My partner is always happy about this and I correct them every time that "I'd prefer if they were predictable. What if someone behind them got annoyed and didn't see us and decided to go around and hit us?"

  • From my experiences, no. Usually these ADHD ideas don't actually come through as words so dictating requires a layer of translation from idea to words. This is also the struggle with handwriting or typing. The idea is happening and leaving at the same rate, so you can't slow down to translate. It needs to be an instant mind-to-text transfer like the other person mentioned

    Edit to add: To me, these ADHD thoughts feels like a classroom having a debate at 2x speed. I'm coming up with arguments, counterpoints, counterarguments, etc. so quickly that my conscious mind cannot keep up with the conversation. If I'm lucky, I get to have an understanding of the finished product. This is what drives the "well..." trailing off when I'm trying to explain these thoughts to neurotypicals. The conversation is still ongoing, and a counterpoint was brought up after translation which disrupted the entire thought process

  • Ah - I don't have a 5/2 schedule so it's more balanced than it appears at first. I protein load for 3 or 4 days of each week, then expend those nutrient for the other 3 or 4 days. I still try to hit maintenance protein on my workdays, but struggle with my appetite due to the momentum of working. I do a lot of liquid calories to prevent massive weight swings

  • Unfortunately I stopped eating fish back around 2020. All plant based these days except for eggs and dairy. Wouldn't suggest it to anyone, this diet is achievable but difficult.

    Nuts and everything else are a great land. I have to be careful with cheese though. Not enough fiber to balance it out and my bathroom breaks start getting annoying.

  • Packed full of fiber

    Damn I never even thought to check that. Normal milkshakes will be the future.

    Dahl cooked with ghee

    To the archives! There's learning to be done (I have no idea what that is so I'm gonna go look it up lol)

  • No actually you're absolutely right. I know with certainty that I should consume more protein as I put weight on. I haven't been tracking it because I had a pretty high fat percentage when I picked up this new job so I've been allowing a bit of that to melt away.

    Been here for 2 months now, and now starting to build the weight back which is why I'm asking for some specific advice on high calorie foods. In the meantime, I intend to start tracking my macros and hitting some strength training on the weekend (my job is a lot of cardio).

    I've been taking down at least one or two protein shakes daily, and making sure to do a lot of my vitamins and protein on the weekends with mostly carbs and sugar during the work week for fuel. Once I round up my numbers I'll adjust and create a specific diet plan

  • Bread is great! I also do pastas a lot for the same reasons. Thankfully, my sister loves to bake and maintains a batch of sourdough which I'll definitely be trying to steal off of periodically.

    I just moved into my new place and haven't had time or tools to test my oven yet. I also am still adjusting to a new schedule, and my partner is going to need to adjust to a new schedule soon so we'll see how much baking we manage to do in our household. Store bought bread will have to make due in the case of a lack of baking

  • I've been meaning to pick up some Mass Gainer for this reason. Right now, I've been drinking those breakfast shake thingies as snacks because they're like 300 calories. Only issue, they're pretty nutrient-dense so they sit heavy in my stomach.

    Supplements will be getting a more thorough look-through once I have a bit more liquid on hand to do so

  • You need protein

    Promise I get enough protein. Probably more than most meat eaters, due to the fact that I constantly think about it. I don't know my exact numbers daily but I consume a lot of whey-protein. I eat the fake meats, tofu and all of that. I do my due diligence. I even make sure to hit my daily vitamins on average per week. I even smoke weed too to help create an appetite sometimes!!

    Basically, you're repeating things I already know. I told you I already knew them when I posted, and you repeated them anyway with an Appeal to Authority with the AI slop. You didn't stop to consider that perhaps this person actually wants the question they asked answered, and instead answered a much more basic question.

  • Right but it's also entirely unnecessary. It's possible to put on weight and consume plenty of protein without meat. The lightest I've ever been was while I was still eating meat, and the heaviest I've ever been was while vegetarian.
