The FDA allows any food with less than 5 kcal to round down on the label.
EAAs, like all other amino acids/proteins, have 4 kcal/gram.
I'm going to shoot for losing 100 pounds in 6 months

Yes rapid weight loss can cause the gallbladder to go bad…. One can take actigal to prevent the gallstones too. I eat a 1200 calorie diet and never cut out fat ,,, the gallbladders purpose is to digest fat so I want it to work
Many folks uric acid gets high with rapid weight loss too…. This can cause gout flares and kidney stones……… not all kidney stones are calcium…… I have passed several gallstones slight discomfort and nausea for 2 days. I have passed one kidney stone and dear God it was 48 hours of hell
I suffered a bit longer with my kidney stone. Almost 2 weeks. It really sucked!!!
I am trying to keep everything in balance to avoid anything "stone" related. Will keep an eye on the uric acid too! Thanks!

I will take heed of your warnings. I actually had a 9mm kidney stone that had to be surgically removed from my ureter using a laser My best guess was because I was eating 2 dozen raw oysters a week at $1ea happy hour over a period of about a year.
It takes some time for a stone to form. My immediate concern is my heart rate right now is 120 bpm with a BP of 107/71. I have beta blockers to reduce my heart rate but it will also reduce my BP which gets even lower at night.
i ramped up to 4mg reta and wish ihadn't. I'm going to wait until my heart rate settles down then resume reta at 1mg.
as a update, i'm down 6 pounds since i started the thread. 236.6
the kidney stone warning gives me an idea. I have a 24hr urine analysis I never used. Now would be a good time to see what's in there.

Add a parathyroid tumor my neck at the VA missed for eight years that’s what caused my stones
Is it a 24 hour urine analysis for calcium or protein? I love a good Mississippi Gulf Coast oyster myself.

calcium vs uric acid or struvite or cystine Once you know what the urine looks like you can modify your diet to lower that excessive substance/byproduct.
I used to eat Louisiana oysters at LSU till i got sick. They're about 3 times the size of a NE oyster. We also had some nice crawfish boils. I'm a big time protein eater.
Surprisingly, a tumor on one my parathyroids caused mine as well. I got that gland removed along with a nodule on my thyroid while they were in there. It was a shit show trying to locate the parathyroids.
Yeah, that’ll be a good workup for the urine… if the 24 hour urine is high for calcium though I would get a serum calcium level if that’s elevated you need a pth level. With the parathyroid tumor I had I was peeing a whole lot of calcium……..
I was raised on the Mississippi coast …. I have eaten thousands of gulf raw oysters never even got a bellyache. I ate a raw oyster in California it tasted rotten spit it out and I got really sick from that………..
Yeah, I love crawfish bowls. I did a big one last year with a sucking pig roast…….
"I used to eat Louisiana oysters at LSU"
LSU grad here as well. Used to eat them at Mike Anderson's Seafood during happy hour back in the day -- the special was .25 per oyster, and cheap draft beer. <insert cheers emoji>
This is starting to sound erratic and unsafe. You went from 1 mg to 4 mg in 1 week, while still combining with tirz?

I slowly ramped reta at 1mg for a couple weeks then 2mg for a couple weeks from a 6mg vial from peptide science. Then a got a new 22mg vial from ac peptides on last Wednesday and did 1mg as a test since it was a new vial. Then 3mg the next day. I think that's conservative. I was on the 2.5 of tirz but ramping down as I ramped reta. I'll look thru my diary and post every shot I've had.
This needs some trial and error just like everyone else is doing. I don't feel comfortable stacking as you don't know if they react with each other or fight each other etc. I think I'm safer than many others as I'm being very conservative with dosing. I think I may be able to lose a lot of weight on the minimum dose.

When I say sick I just mean I ate too many. I didn't actually get sick and never have been on raw oysters.
They eat raw clams here in mass and those are really good too. Sweet and crunchy.

Ones I got in Cali were imported from
Asia ….. 105 temp and projectile vomiting and diarrhea…yuck
. In south Mississippi and Louisiana we had almost all of our oyster bed killed due to Katrina, BP oil spill and the Bonne Carre spillway … when I go home I buy from a company that actually cultures oysters and irradiates them …. They are great

It was so much fun getting fat. Once or twice i year i get a big box of boudin from Cajun Grocer. I got my oysters for .15 at some bar i don't remember the name. I felt guilty i was working the shucker so hard and would always try and leave a nice tip.

Thanks for sharing this tip.
I’m really trying to up my protein. This sounds like an excellent supplement to add. Thank you!

this sounds like a very dangerous potential pipeline to an eating disorder. at least invest some of your grocery budget to meal replacements as those have at least some vitamins and minerals. track your fats too.

Check out the r/fasting (reddit) They've got me convinced fasting is a really good thing. I'm going to try and work my way up to a week. I just did a 3 day stint from noon on Sunday to noon Wednesday.
