đ´ What I always "overeat" -Â
- The RDA (recommended dietary allowance) for protein is 0.4 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (0.8g/kg). That would be just 50 grams of protein for a 140 pound person. For most of my adult life I've eaten 3-5X more than the RDA. And if body composition is a goal I think protein should be prioritized.

đď¸ââď¸ What is the most overlooked aspect of losing weight -Â
- I was going to start my "carnivore cut" this past week; however, I'm postponing it for at least a month. The reason is I don't have access to a personal gym. And I'm not going to do a cut without being able to do my normal, heavy(ish) weights. This is actually one of the most misunderstood / overlooked aspects of losing fat.Â

 đ§ââď¸Â What I'm doing instead -Â
- When handed lemons, make lemonade. Not literally, of course :) But since I can't go to my happy place (the gym) it gives me an opportunity to work on some other things that I have neglected. My mobility/flexibility is somewhere between not good and terrible. So I'm taking this time to do some yoga and stretching. I've been using this website called Down Dog, which I've been super impressed with, and
they've made it free through at least April 1.Â

đ What we're getting a glimpse of -Â
- Our current education system is broken:Â k-12, college, and corporate / continual education. But I think with the worldwide lockdown, we are starting to see some things point in the direction of what our education system could become.

đ§ What parody I've been thinking about -
Â
"At this time it seems poignant to avoid all public spaces. Even the bars, as I told Hemingway, but to that he punched me in the stomach, to which I asked if he had washed his hands. He hadn't. He is much the denier that one...The officials have alerted us to ensure we have a month's worth of necessities. Zelda and I have stocked up on red wine, whiskey, rum, vermouth, absinth, white wine, sherry, gin, and lor, if we need it, brandy."

đ§ââď¸ What solitude can offer -Â
- This speech is fantastic. It's about why leaders need to spend time alone. While solitude seems like the antithesis of leadership, William Deresiewicz delivers great insight into why this is a fallacy.
