Right. So they did.

Right. So they did.

So the way they did it was they did – the continuous group was getting 75 percent of their maintenance calories per day, so in a deficit. And then the alternate day group was doing 150 percent and then zero, right? So you're getting an average of 75. And they actually saw differences in lean mass at the end of that study, the continuous feeding group.

lost less lean mass than the alternate fasting group. So that's only one study and it didn't have resistance training. It's possible that resistance training could attenuate some of that stuff. But what I'll say is, you know, the more extreme forms of fasting probably aren't optimal for lean mass, right?

Yeah. So I think this is where the rubber kind of meets the road in terms of straight down the line. The randomized control trials say this, but I still do something a little bit different. Right. Because the randomized control trials say protein distribution doesn't really seem to matter. Right. But again, you inject me a true serum. I think it probably does matter a little bit. Right.

Now, does it matter as much as total protein? Absolutely not. That is by far the biggest lever. But again, if my context is I want to become the most muscular, strongest human being I can be, which I do because that's where I compete, I'm going to distribute my protein probably over four to five meals per day, right?

So, well, it's summer right now. So kids are off of school. So we're usually getting up around like seven thirty, eight o'clock in the morning. And my first meal is usually within an hour. And then I usually eat within an hour of going to bed and then I'll have two or three meals in between those. So usually I have about four meals a day.

Sometimes I'll have five if it's just a longer day or just how my timing kind of goes or whatever.
