It hasn't changed for the last, I don't know, what did you say, 40 or 50 years?
What does that look like in daily practice for someone, at least the protein?
Now, this is a spoiler alert, but you did write the nutrition chapter in the Forever Strong playbook that's coming out January 27th.
We did not plan this at all.
I hounded you to write the nutrition chapter, and I would say that 90%, or would you probably even more, it seems very reflective of implementation of the new guidelines.
And from a practical perspective, which we do cover in the book, the first meal we typically say is very important if it's between 30 and 50 grams of dietary protein.
There's a reason as to why we believe that that is.
It's the first meal.
You're coming out of a catabolic state.
The muscles are primed for nutrients.
You want to stimulate them either through amino acids, i.e.
protein, or physical activity.
Did you teach me well?
And what that would look like is it could be a protein shake, it could be eggs, it now could be eggs and steak.
Yeah.
Amazing.
There's many different choices.
When you say that the meal distribution, and there's a lot of controversy, again, this isn't really actually related to the guidelines.
This is more in the nuance and in the weeds.
People will say protein distribution doesn't matter as long as you're getting your overall protein.
