And so it's like you really don't want to dig yourself, especially like we think about nowadays, all of the narratives to

Girls in their twenties when bone density is peaking to like not resistance train, just do like yoga and Pilates, hawker walks, and like under eat.

And then it's like this perfect storm of like, okay, well, no, like that's like that's the opposite of what we want to be doing during this time.

Um, and it's really, I mean, it's a huge risk in endurance girls, girls who are doing endurance sport.

Um, and then it's also a risk to just like sedentary women who aren't doing the the typical things that you should be doing to prevent or promote bone density and loss across time.

Yeah, a lot of people think that endurance athletes don't need as much protein because they're not building and promoting muscle growth and they're not lifting, but you actually need

potentially higher protein.

And I think a lot of that is because your body doesn't want to like really use protein for energy metabolism, but it can and it will.

And if you are in very large carbohydrate deficits or energy deficits, whether that's intra workout or from training chronically.

So I don't do I mean I did I did do EAAs a few years ago.

I was my long story short, my PhD just gave me every gut health issue that you could possibly have from the stress.

And so I was having a hard time with eating in the mornings and training.

So that one period in time in my life I did take

essential amino acids during that just so I had some amino acids available.

Um, right now I really just prioritize getting in protein in at my breakfast before I go out for my long runs or

in across the week I'm getting enough during the day.

How much protein do you typically ingest in a day?

Um, I haven't tracked in a few weeks, but when I was tracking, I was probably getting between a hundred and twenty and hundred and forty grams per day.

And I'm about a hundred and forty one pounds.

So that's about right.
