So yeah, I look at some of those studies and I mean, I do take omega-3 myself.
I think I take two grams per day.
So maybe I need to up my dose to three to five grams per day based on some of this research here.
But yeah, like cardiac stuff too, you know, I think makes sense to take that for recovery purposes for sure.
Yeah, but I think something to note there too is that while they all, while, you know, Stu Phillips and Brad Schoenfeld and, you know, basically all the experts who we put evidence for into this guide, they recommended these protein intakes, quoted that it was very important, but all of them really emphasized that nothing kind of compares to the resistance training.
So yeah, protein intake is important, but if you're not resistance training, you're kind of really missing out on that aspect.
So I think protein intake can be seen as,
kind of necessary but not sufficient for muscle growth.
You know, you can't just eat more protein and get bigger.
You know, you got to do the training.
But it is certainly important.
And I think total daily protein intake was one of the things that stood out as that is the most important factor when it comes to if people have questions about how much or when do I eat it or how much or how do I distribute it.
Total daily protein intake, that seems to be the most important thing.
So just making sure you're getting enough during the day.
Two things that, you know, were also talked about were regarding protein distribution.
So and that refers to, you know, timing and distribution, I guess, is how we could phrase it.
So when to eat your protein, particularly maybe with regards to exercise, and then how to distribute it throughout the day.
Regarding timing, there's this concept known as the anabolic window.
And this was kind of an earlier idea where it was once thought that, you know,
