Everything Nathan has said is correct. It 100% inhibits you from being your best both in fitness and overall health
The harsh truth is if your health is important to you, you have it in you to make the choice to stop

I eat 6 meals per day and add around 2g of pink salt to each meal. I also add a scoop of hydration product into my intra and taking 800mg magnesium daily. On top of that, I can easily drink 10L of water per day without even forcing it.

The reason I’m asking is because I sweat quite a lot in general, but during training it becomes excessive to the point where I sometimes need to change my shirt halfway through the workout because it’s completely soaked.

Do you think there’s anything I should change here? E.g. would it make sense to replace part of my salt intake with losalt

If you’re recovering and weight is stable you are covered!

I think you answered your question right at the start, the lack of discipline
Don’t overthink, just have a non negotiable basic plan and challenge yourself to be consistently adherent, then build upon that

How is body composition?
Cardio endurance is always good to have, and doing whatever it takes to perform in training at your highest level is priority. So I would implement some hiit cardio to help build that

You are still new and it’s not time to specify, it’s time to build. I would continue with the split you have been following and keep aiming to progress it!

I keep it the same and keep sources consistent. If high days start getting really high I may reduce my direct protein portions per meal, but I do not base it on a macro number of the trace proteins

I personally do 90 min with that amount, maybe even 2 hours because I have an intra. But it’s really based on how you feel.

I personally prefer fasted cardio. Even if it’s just placebo I feel like it does make a difference in a fat loss phase. But if it’s inconvenient for you and causes stress then another time of day will get the job done

There were preps I used it and preps I didn’t. I did not notice a difference in fat loss.
I used 2.5-7.5 mg fasted.
I’ve found males tend to not tolerate it well more so than females when it comes to the nausea.
There’s no harm in trying for yourself! I’d start low like 2.5mg and see how you do

Kuba covered everything here!

How long has this been persisting? Asking because if it’s just been a couple weeks then maybe you’d adapt after a little longer

In this case I’d just bump it up a bit more and hold there for a bit
So go up another 300 on training days and 200 on non training days and see how you get on.

When you made the most recent bump did your expenditure increase any?

I don’t notice anything, but I still do it for the chance that there’s a benefit
Things can be beneficial systemically without showing externally
I personally do it on my non training days fasted in the morning
If it’s convenient for you to do, go for it!

What is your current body composition like?

What Clare has given you an option for is good. Follow it and stay consistent with it. I’ve followed one program with no changes for literal years and make continuous physique progress. Don’t be afraid of consistency!
