I mean, sometimes they end up being like mostly protein or whatnot. But for the most part, there's a mix in each one. And usually around 50 grams of protein at a meal. Yeah. About 235 grams of protein a day. Some people would argue that, oh, that's more than you need. The research has shown that 1.6 grams per kg maxes out the response. Here's the thing.

And again, this is where like scientific experiments are big, blunt instruments. OK, they will tell you what not to do more often than they will tell you what to do. OK. When it comes to protein, my personal opinion, and this is just, I guess, a little bit of intuition based off of 20 years of studying this stuff.

is that I don't know if there's an actual amount of protein that maxes out the protein synthesis response. I would bet, if I was a betting man, that it's kind of an asymptote. You're familiar with, yeah.

Yeah, so it's easier to explain if it's going towards zero. So an asymptote might be, okay, you start out, you have 10, then five, then two and a half.
