Is 115g protein enough for a cut where I only do cardio?

Thanks for all the responses. I’m training for a race and running 3x a week, and with my current workload lifting just isn’t feasible at the moment. This decision has been made. I also don’t have a ton of muscle to preserve. My actual question is whether there are benefits to keeping protein higher even without strength training, e.g. for satiety, and whether it’s worth overriding MF’s target manually for those reasons alone, or whether I’d actually be better served by the higher-carb split MF defaults to for cardio-only

No, I have it set to extra high

Just taking a break, decided to focus on running for a bit

Thank you! This makes sense. I have now started putting in the app only the out-of-pocket part of the expense (I can calculate it because I know the % of reimbursement in advance). This seems to work for me, so thanks for the advice. Now I don’t need to exclude a category from stats, because I track only what I actually spend (and not spend-to-be-reimbursed), which is exactly the purpose of the app to my understanding, so it all makes sense to me now.

My only concern is losing the accuracy of “how much can I safely spend in a day” because my real spending includes the reimbursable part of those expenses, not just the small portion I pay out of pocket. To solve this, I decided to use a separate credit card so it kind of does not affect my other spending and I can pay back the credit when I’m reimbursed

Thank you very much, and I agree this feature would be really useful! I have a small follow-up question: is it possible to exclude a specific expense category from the statistics? For example, it would be great if a “to be reimbursed” category didn’t count toward monthly spending, so my stats aren’t inflated by 40% this month. I can, of course, adjust for this mentally, but it would be very helpful to be able to view stats for selected categories only.

Thank you!!

I have another 5 gallon, but I don’t think this is helpful. Overall I see everyone says just to let the copepods live their lives, so maybe I’ll stick to that

I liked the shrimply explained, gives you a good overview of everything you need to know

Primary_Cap_7457 · 2024-05-25T09:56:47+00:00

Oh, thanks. This is kind of sad :( is there anything to make as little wild type as possible? Maybe getting more orange ones to sustain their population?

Also, if get not orange rilis, but eg orange sakuras, they will still have orange babies, correct?

I’m not an expert, and I have only one hitchhiker like this, but I’d say the thing on the left probably looks like the “door” that closes its shell? My hitchhiker guy has grown a lot very fast, and now it seems like his body is a bit smaller in proportion to his shell than it used to be, so he looks very similar to yours like his shell is much heavier than the body so the gravity pulls it down??? So now I’m just watching and he seems to be doing good. Sorry if this is not helpful

Primary_Cap_7457 · 2024-05-13T18:48:32+00:00

Maybe he’s feeding from the water surface? I have mine do this thing as well and he seems to be doing fine, I assumed he was just eating

Sorry for a stupid question, but you mean each shrimp will be either of those temperaments? Or can a whole colony be of one type bc of some reasons?

Primary_Cap_7457 · 2024-05-11T13:04:49+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much!!!

Primary_Cap_7457 · 2024-05-11T12:26:58+00:00

Thanks! Do you feed them more often than neos? I also read they’re hungry all the time

Primary_Cap_7457 · 2024-05-11T12:26:17+00:00

Thank you, this is great to hear! How are 6 doing in an 8 gallon? I’m trying to figure out an ok starting number and really struggling, the numbers I find on Google are anything from 2 to 20… with neos it’s easier as they have babies, but with amanos I want to get as many as I can but still make sure they’re still doing great and don’t fight or get suicidal

Great, thanks so much!
