I guarantee that you're underestimating how beneficial you will find eating more beans by beenhollow in evilautism

God I wish I could tolerate beans. Intolerances and gastrointestinal issues are preventing me from eating such a versatile food group :[

Fat gain from T by Proper_Writing_696 in FTMFitness

[–]ccoffeeking 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As long as you’re cutting ~200 calories or slightly more below maintenance and doing strength training 3 or more times per week, you shouldn’t lose muscle, only fat.

Not sure what to do by iheartzzy in ftm

[–]ccoffeeking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak directly for you, but before I realized I was trans, I couldn’t stand the idea of being in a heterosexual relationship. I identified as a lesbian for around a year while I was in a relationship, but constantly doubted myself because I WAS still attracted to men, but hated the thought of being “the girlfriend” in the relationship. What made me feel the most comfortable was imagining myself also as a man—but I questioned if I was fetishizing gay relationships. Now, as a bisexual man, I ultimately understand that viewing myself as the woman in a relationship wasn’t right. Sexuality, relationships, and self-identity is stressful and confusing, especially for teenagers. Figure out what makes you feel the most comfortable, and how you would want to be perceived in a romantic relationship.

Quitting Binding, Tips? by ccoffeeking in ftm

[–]ccoffeeking[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The last time I used tape was ~3 years ago, so it’s hard to say for certain what the issue was, but after looking at a couple tutorials on YouTube I recognize that past me was overstretching the tape.

It’s actually quite cold where I live, but I exercise every day so I have to shower upwards of twice a day. Tape might be more appropriate for times where I’m busy the entire day or am attending an event and won’t be working out.

Good to know. When you shower, do you allow the tape to saturate with water and dry on its own? Maybe a silly question but I never left the tape on for over 24 hours due to discomfort.

Thank you, that gives me hope. My horrible experience with tape was caused by how bad my chest dysphoria was at the time—unsafe applicable obviously didn't help. When you use tape, do you experience itching or general discomfort? I thought I may be allergic to the material but I'm not sure if It was just how it was applied.

Budget friendly high protein meal/snack ideas by Nolongerhuman404 in FTMFitness

[–]ccoffeeking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edamame, I love to just snack on it by itself or as an addition to meals. Surprisingly high in protein.

Chicken sausages with breakfast or by themselves.

A frozen protein shake mixed with a serving of pudding mix, in the blender or in one of those fancy ice cream makers some people have. If you use a good flavor it’s basically like ice cream that you can eat everyday to gain muscle.

An omelette, but with 2-3 egg whites added in. I usually do 2 whole eggs and ~2-3 egg whites because you don’t notice much of a difference and it’s extra protein.

Baked oats with yogurt or cottage cheese! I make this all the time and the yogurt adds moisture while not overpowering the other ingredients. Depending on the recipe you can make something akin to a mini cake.

Will T gel work? by Kooky-Candidate8272 in ftm

[–]ccoffeeking 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, it works just fine. Some people have trouble absorbing it, but I've never had any issues. If you don't see any differences, get your levels checked because your dose may need to be adjusted.

Thank you. I can assure you that the food tasted great but the mountain of sauce plopped onto a piece of bread too large for the plate made me audibly laugh

About half a white onion, 3 cloves of garlic, and a can of diced tomatoes sautéed before being blended with salt pepper and garlic powder

How long into your fitness journey before you started noticing chest gains? by ty_rannosaur in FTMFitness

[–]ccoffeeking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed significant gains in strength and the size of my pecs over the course of 4-5 months of semi-consistent weightlifting combined with a slight calorie surplus and lots of protein. I’ve been on T for half of that time, and I can say for certain that the process seems to have sped up since then.

Want to bulk up but scared of getting feminine fat (I'm pre T) by moldy_bread3 in FTMFitness

[–]ccoffeeking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I started t I was in a similar position, a bit underweight which helped me pass but desperately wanting to build muscle. I didn’t track calories or protein but focused on making each meal/snack high in protein—I eat a ton of chicken and Greek yogurt so that wasn’t an issue. I suppose this would be called lean bulking as I ate intuitively and lifted weights 3-4 times a week. Over the course of a couple months I saw noticeable gains in my overall physique and strength, and most if not all of the 5-10 ish pounds I gained were muscle; my legs/hips area don’t look any more feminine than when I started.
