Short night, it affects recovery and training. It is important to listen carefully to your body, set limits and promote recovery. It's good physically and psychologically. (After all, we must also navigate through other personal and professional responsibilities.) Take care of yourself!
I'm trying to get a bit more veggies into my diet, and the best con I've come up with is stuffing cheese and garlic stuffed olives into mushrooms. Works quite well.
For folks who have used PKU Calculator - I've been thinking about winding down the diet management side of the app for quite some time now, as well as winding down iOS and Android apps.
I'm super proud of said apps, but the truth of the matter is that these apps do take a long time out of my life to maintain. If I had a team of developers and testers, then this would be easy. That, and Apple/Google bureaucracy has killed the fun for me.
@caoimhin a little bit of column a and a little from column b.
I was trying to do the following:
Keep track of food consumed per exchange
Make it easy for users to track their diet in terms of meals etc
Have a way for users to count how much supplements they have
At first I did #1, then naturally I implemented #3, but then users asked for #2 and since I designed my schema in a certain way, it was so much hassle to sort it out.
@caoimhin The lack of flexibility of postgres meant developing around it was such a chore that I didn't even enjoy implementing new features.
If I were to start again, I would probably have 3 internal API endpoints - one to handle login/verification, one to handle extra metadata about users (eg how many exchanges they are on, where they live to filter out food etc), and then a third just for dietary/blood spots etc
It’s important to not overeat and looking at calories is a way to achieve that.
But when I take a look at the total amount of calories of just the PKU formulas, it’s a meal. (550 calories). 😒
The only way I found dealing with that is intermittent fasting (time restricted window), eating only 2 meals of food and carefully spread formulas during the day.
@ClairTheGinger@poconnor@pcublogue I think the worst one for me was the Glytactin drink. I don't know if they prescribe it anymore, but I was on it and I had gained WEIGHT! My doctor laughed and thought I was just eating more, but then I told him it was the supplement. Went back to PKU Sphere and lost like 3kg in 6 months.
@soheb@ClairTheGinger@poconnor It’s a huge challenge. I mean, there are countless people having trouble managing their weight and we have this additional challenge on top of everything. 😓
One thing I always get stuck on when eating with #PKU is remembering to eat and remembering what I actually have in my cupboards!
So I have my fruit and snack bowls, all filled either prescription snacks, less than half a gram or completely protein free snacks, so I'm less likely to go for the snacks that are more interesting but heavier in protein (yoghurt, crisps etc)
@poconnor@soheb handy for when you're in the middle of cooking, covered in sauce and you can't remember what protein potatoes are and your phone is in the other room 😂
@ClairTheGinger@poconnor yep, that is a common scenario for me! Luckily I have a chalk board that is being used as a neglected to-do list. I'll revamp it into exchanges board! 👍
