So I'm no longer in a danger area. But I am in the low on the muscle side.
I'm 38 I was 455 I had DS when I was 19.
Long story short i had a car about followed by my heart stopping and spent 6 months in the hospital followed by 6 months in a resting home followed by 5 months in the hospital followed by 3 months in a bed.. end result I lost over ten pounds of muscle in like just two months. I saw it happen and my doctor's saw it happen they toss me Zach.. your going to have a heart attack if you don't turn this around.
So again long story short I increased my eating from 3000 calories to I'm at 4200 calories I went from 100 protein grams a day to over 250 a day. None of this was hard. I work out 3x a week
I monitor my muscle and it's been going up regularly with a small drop recently in a certain area around my chest I dunno why maybe I was dehydrated when I got my body scan too check my muscle. I use a seca scale to check my muscle content.
I'm just looking for how many calories I really need in 6"3. My doctor can't tell me. How many calories am I absorbing how much of the 250 grams of protein am i absorbing because I have a trainer and I'm working my hardest but I still have blood tests that are always low my blood count is low my whole blood count is low and other things my doctor's have no answers. My main ds doctor wants me to take enzymes and I don't want to. I'm just curious if anyone else has gained muscle and what they can tell me. I'm following my trainer advise but he's no expert on DS in fact no one's a expert on DS I have no good advise in doing everything blind hoping to God I gain back ask them muscle I lost I have at least ten pounds to go to be acreage right now I'm below average muscle im not low anymore I'm not in the danger zone but I don't feel like I know what I'm doing I really just need to know how much I absorb. Thank you sorry for the long post
