Only significant side effect is muscle ache and loss, particularly upper arms. Making my cycling almost painful - legs fine!
I am trying to boost protein intake to recommended 1.5grm per kg of weight. Luckily I'm a skinny one, but even so 90grm of protein is proving difficult. Breakfast is easy enough e.g. 2 x protein weetabix, 1 x oatibix, whole milk, 0% fat high protein yoghurt and honey gives about 30 - 35grm.
Nearly always fish in the evening. Eggs for lunchtime snack. But getting to >90 seems a struggle, partly i suppose because I've never been a "big eater".
Any protein tips please?
Good luck, Dave
