And again, this is how do we evolve the protein conversation?

Nitrogen balance, we understand that, but it's beyond setting a minimum and also even asking the question.

The question is, is that number even relevant?

I don't think that that number is actually a relevant number.

Well, we know that from the data that anything closer to 1.1 to 1.2 is going to be better from a muscle outcome and also lean body mass.

And we're going to talk about this because I actually got interviewed by Consumer Reports, investigative journalism, and it wasn't the nicest message.

Yeah, it was.

So you say that people should be eating double the RDA, which is 1.6 grams per kg.

But all these other people say that you shouldn't.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, of course.

But for whatever.

I mean, I don't know.

Maybe it's because I. But they singled you out.

So we'll see what the article says.

But here's what they said.

They said the study, this meta analysis had 20 some studies.

None of them showed a benefit of having a higher protein diet.

And I was like, OK, OK.

If sarcopenia is a 4% loss per decade, 4%, what percent change in lean body mass between groups do you expect to see in 10 to 12 weeks?
