What’s with the new Body Composition format?

Used the app today after being off a week. I took a reading this morning and went to log my data on a spreadsheet (since this app has a bad record of deleting my old weighing data) and the format is all different. Rearranging things I get, but it looks like Organ Mass, A/G Ratio, Android Region Fat Mass, Genius Region Fat Mass, and Body Cell Mass are gone. Additionally, the arm, leg, and trunk lean mass, fat mass, and fat percentage are no longer in the list section (now called Charts) but must be taken from the Body tab and requires going into the menu to see all the information.

This makes the whole process much slower to read for us all and harder to log for us that do that.

Can I save this reconstitution?

Hello researchers. I tried really hard to not be this guy, but here I am. I am reconstituting 10 mg of CJC/Ipa (5/5 blend). I had the powder frozen, removed from freezer, let come to room temp, cleaned all surfaces with alcohol prep wipe, and used a new disposable insulin needle to transfer 2 mL of Hospira BAC water to the vial. I rolled it between my hands multiple times and let it sit both at room temp and in the fridge for a while. No matter what I tried, the mixture would not clear up and fully dissolve. There is powder clumped on the wall of the vial and the liquid is cloudy. I let it sit overnight and saw minimal improvement. So I went ahead and added a small amount of AA water (about 0.1 mL). This is the solution now after sitting for another hour and having been rolled around in my hands again.

So my question is, can this be saved? What do I do? Is this enough AA water to hopefully clear it or am I using too little? I read 5-10% of the mixture should be AA only if needed.

Thanks!

Edit: Okay real math below for future people running into the same issue. I had 9.08 mg of CJC/Ipa (this is based on my 3rd party testing so I’m using it for all calculations). I put 1.82 mL of BAC water in which resulted in the solution above. This would have yielded a 150mcg/150mcg draw at 6 units. I slowly tried adding AA water. First I did 0.1 mL and saw improvement over an hour but then it settled out. I then added an additional 0.15 mL and got 90% there. I then redid my math and decided to add an additional 0.05 mL to finish it up and get a clean 7 unit draw for my dosing.

TLDR: 0.30 mL of AA water cleared up my issue

Macro Goal while using Reta & CJC/Ipa

Hello fellow scientists. I want to preface with saying I have a long background in nutritional science and have spent a long time doing research into peptides before starting my own experiments. Also sorry for the format, mobile…
I will be starting a new research experiment soon and would like some advise on nutrition during the experiment.
Test Subject: 5’9”, 160 lb rat. In January the rat was 180 lb and 30% body fat. Now the rat is down 20 lb and about 25% body fat. This has been done through strict macronutrient goals and keeping a steady deficit. The rat’s current macronutrient goals are: 160 g of protein, 110 g of carb, and 70 g of fat. This has worked well while trying to keep to single or double ingredient meals, of course with some cheat meals here and there.
Soon the rat will be starting Reta as well as CJC-1295/Ipa. Starting doses will be low as I want this to be a marathon, not a sprint. So I will plan on Reta at 2 mg/week (injected once a week) and the CJC/Ipa at 150mcg/150mcg on a 5 on, 2 off weekly schedule.
When the rat transitions to starting the Reta (and CJC/Ipa but I’m not sure this has as much of an effect), how should the diet adjust? I know that Reta causes a higher metabolic rate so calories must go up. I also want to keep the rat’s lean body mass as it is already low and the goal is to raise this and make a very lean and muscular rat that the lady rats will want to lick whip cream of of the muscular rat’s abs. So higher calories, more protein. Reta will also need carbs to work, so more carbs.
But how much increase in protein and carbs? What would be a goal calorie level? Any scientific backed advise on this would be appreciated as I am trying to keep things as scientific and data backed as possible.
