For most people, yes... your leptin will be very low at 10%

Oh man, feeling WAY better.

It took 3-4 full days back from the hospital to recover my sleep and nutritional status, but today was my first day feeling basically 100%.

In terms of what was...

I just meant that over-thinking and coming up with 'strategies' around the carbs etc for a 3 mile run/jog is probably vastly overcomplicating it...

Literally just being fueled in general and...

Right... I mean the approach is the same: if you lose weight, you're in a deficit... if you gain weight, you're in a surplus.

Perhaps the average TDEE is lower, but the basic concept is the same.

3 miles isn't nearly enough to need to worry about it at all... just stay hydrated..

What does being over 40 have to do with anything?

Honestly to me Optimum is like a very 'meh' option taste-wise....

They're one of those old-school brands which probably still rely on their original stuff to get by.

Plenty of others have...

I think the hunger is probably the controlled starvation...

I had some with lunch topped with avocado and salsa, on top of a bunch of jasmine rice and broccoli. Was pretty damn tasty and quick as hell.

Hence when I’ll never do any of that tracking crap ever again..

Life is too short to weigh every tiny crumb and worry about all that minutia...

You're allowed you eat non-boring stuff ya know?

no, it isn't

So I mean.. sure.. if you wanna be really lean, gotta tolerate...

you must be joking...

tracking black pepper???

The processes of weighing food, trying to target numbers, telling myself I couldn't eat anymore even if i was hungry... it was misery. I'd get to the end of the day, realize I only had a certain...

Have you ever stopped to just see how you manage without it?

I think you're probably far better at hitting your goals WITHOUT it than you realize...

Im not saying stop being aware of food...

Honestly... I think at one point I almost did that but stopped because I realized I didn't need to write down the weights and everything in that format...

I definitely had MASSIVE streaks of...

I seriously cannot imagine how tedious and annoying doing that must be....

Ya'll up in here basically doing quantum physics with your calories...

i'm over here just eating until i'm full.

lol

I vastly prefer PEScience Select for a whey/dairy-based protein compared to Optimum... better texture and flavor for sure.

Lately tho i've only been using plant-based powders.
