@druid even 1kg/week sounds pretty scary to me, I would like to get like blood tests and shit at that point

it's fascinating to me how that happens. I've been a little pudgy in the past but it was just because of the nerd lifestyle, I've never viewed eating as a masturbatory activity. now that I've been exercising diligently it's actually a huge pain in the ass to eat enough. I've also noticed how little people actually know about something as essential as nutrition, I've done a bit of research to make sure I eat in a somewhat optimal way and I can literally read a paragraph from the most cited paper on a topic and the people I'm bothering with this at lunch will be like "lol that's not in the food pyramid"
