And that would fall kind of right into this discretionary caloric allotment of 10 to 20% of calories kind of from whatever you want.
And I would want to qualify that 10 to 20% margin by saying that
If you're hypercaloric, in other words, if you're consuming more calories than you're taking in, you're trying to gain weight or something like that, you probably want to keep your discretionary calorie allotment to 10% or your indulgence food to 10% rather than 20%.
How many days a week do you go to the gym?
Yeah.
And a great example of that is total sets per week.
You know, like you can cram, let's imagine for a given muscle group, you do like nine, nine sets a week or 10 sets a week.
You could probably get those in, in a single session, but it's more productive to probably spread it out over at least two days.
How long does it take for me to start to lose muscle?
Oh, man.
Okay.
That is a good question and a tough one.
So muscle loss happens very rapidly in bedridden individuals.
So lean mass, especially critically ill folks, oh, man, goes really fast.
Contrast that with you taking a week off or even two weeks off, but it's more of like an active rest where you're not just merely sitting around.
You could probably go a couple weeks before you start noticing material drops in strength and fitness.
Three weeks, yeah, you'll definitely, I think you'll definitely feel that.
It depends on the goal.
You mentioned that your goal was to gain muscle.
So in reality – and this question is surprisingly more complex than you might hope it's going to be.
