reading protein threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly

Questionbranch of 7 comments

reading protein threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. Two scans on the same machine 5 months apart. Lean mass held better than I expected and the lifts told the same story for free. Reduced appetite makes hitting a protein target a logistics…
