Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
DEXA scan update relevant to protein intake:
Scanned at months 0, 6, and 12. Here are the body comp numbers:
| Baseline | Month 6 | Month 12 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total mass | 264 lbs | 219 lbs | 211 lbs |
| Fat mass | 114 lbs | 84 lbs | 46 lbs |
| Lean mass | 152 lbs | 151 lbs | 158 lbs |
| Body fat % | 41% | 31% | 25% |
Lean mass preserved — actually GAINED 1-2 lbs thanks to progressive overload + 1.5g/kg protein. The protein intake discussion needs to include body comp data, not just scale weight.

I disagree that testing history is decisive. It tells you what a supplier did when they were being watched. Continuity of behaviour under stress — a late shipment, a failed test, a complaint — is more predictive than any run of good results.
