There are other use cases for other supplements and other strategies, but that is our answer.

And I think that paper you're referring to showed the same thing.

Yeah, but you would anticipate it to be slight.

Like how much of a benefit would a couple of egg yolks a day plausibly give a healthy person?

It shouldn't be much.

Had those data come back and it was more than that, I would have been like,

okay how we're like well i don't know we don't have this and so you just start making again as you mentioned choline and you start making like well plausible this and then you make plausibly that and then plausibly that and like you're trying to run well there's also some omega-3s in eggs and you might think well the cell membranes now maybe the transporters are getting more leucine in who knows

Never.

little extra motivation to say yeah go for the whole foods go for the whole foods you know i have had a love hate relationship with those things as well spent many decades like smashing many scoops of protein powder a day and then probably went a decade or more with like almost no protein powder now i'm back on a little bit more for for other reasons like they're getting better with some of those things

But if you're asking me what I'd rather do, have a candy bar or have a piece of whole food, I'm always going to take the whole food for preference, just flavor preferences.

I like eating food more than I like supplements.

Well, I'll answer this two ways.

I'll be short.

I actually think it's an interesting question.

I don't think people spend a lot of time studying.

I'm open to the possibility that there is way more important in different timing scenarios than we think, but that people just have not done that work.

So that's an open-ended question that's never been there.

The other way I'll say it is,

Because of that, I guess, yeah, I just don't feel like at this point we have any compelling reason to think that it is a critical thing to pay attention to in terms of timing and stuff relative there.

If you just think about plausibly what these different fueling sources are intending to do, it makes sense that fat is probably the thing you should be third concerned about.
