This isn't rocket science.
Like, it's...
Like I said, I worry about people training not hard enough.
I don't worry about them training too hard.
Like that is a pretty small subsection of people.
Although we end up having selection bias because we're in this industry, which has a lot more people who do train too hard and get too restrictive with their diets compared to the average person, right?
I think it's interesting because I'll tell people I'm a PhD in nutrition and I'll be the first to tell you training is way more important.
Yes.
Way more important.
You can make an argument that's actually probably more important if you aren't training, but I would say like get training, right?
What do you mean?
Because if you don't have the training lever to preserve lean mass and get some metabolic benefits, protein doesn't do it nearly as much, but it does help.
And so, you know, but it is a small lever compared to actual resistance training.
So that's kind of like the lab I came out of, Don Lehman's lab.
That was a big focus for us was older population.
And if you look in young populations, I mean one of the studies you sent me on protein distribution showed no difference in 30-year-old women, which doesn't really surprise me because when you're young and even like –
30 wouldn't be considered young, but young enough that you still have like the normal kind of translation initiation signaling, so the mTOR pathway.
As you get older, above – I want to say the study – I think it was out of Rennie or Wolf's Lab.
I can't remember which one.
It was like back in 2004.
