About this journal

I’m Priyanshu, a software engineer in my twenties trying to understand fitness with the same curiosity I bring to everything else (and hopefully fewer open tabs).

Prehab is an eight-part series about that process: my relationship with food, the appeal of a body-fat target, fasting, protein and carbs, becoming a gym regular, and making room for cardio.

The format is simple: explain the terms, work through an example, and figure out what is useful in an ordinary week. The nutrition and exercise explanations link to their sources. The examples explain the concepts; they are not a record of my measurements.

Why “prehab”?

A reminder to pay attention now. To learn how to eat and train in a way I can keep doing, while leaving enough time to actually enjoy being in my twenties.
