How am I losing almost 6 pounds a week? Am I losing muscle? I get 100-150 grams of protein a day and no these aren't noob gaines as I started losing weight in May. Wtf????
>>85105266During weight loss, especially for someone of your weight, weight loss is fast and dramatic at first. You will see large fluctuations in water weight and fat loss. To preserve lean body mass while at a deficit, get most of your calories from protein. Keep it up, don't get discouraged once your weight loss starts to plateau, that just means you're getting closer and closer to your bodies equilibrium
You will generally be loosing muscle unless you are working out for the first time at the same time, probably not a lot is being lost otherwise since you're so fat thoughhbeit
>>85105266You're very large. Your BMR is like 2500 a day. More if you're taller than average. That's how much you burn doing absolutely nothing but running your organs. That alone is 5 pounds worth of fat a week. You are not losing muscle. You're just huge and it costs a lot of energy to keep alive.
>>85105266>Am I losing muscle?Unless you're an elite tier powerlifter I doubt you have any real muscle to lose at 330lbs. And you don't need 100+ grams of protein a day either, you're over complicating things.
>>85105303You need 1lb per lean bodyweight doebeit
>>85105266Eat 332 g of protein daily. Don't forget your fats. I'm using the Google Gemini diet. I would KMS if I had to ask mentally ill virgins on 4chan for any type of help
>>85105345Bro 332 grams of protein is like 2200 calories of plain chicken breast. Don't listen to this guy.
>>85105317this is broscience. Generally yes, it's a fine rule to follow, simply because it's better to get more protein than too little. But in reality it's closer to .25-.5 grams per lb of lean muscle mass.
>>85105384Ok. I was wrong. Gemini says op should eat 150g of protein a day and lose 3 pounds a week
>>85105345>>85105384lmfaooo please someone post the /fit/ screenshot of the guy eating like 60 eggs whites a day and 30 supplement pills
