And she goes, you're going to protein shame me, aren't you? And I go, absolutely. Like, I absolutely am going to protein shame you. Good Lord. I go, actually, what I'm just going to do is give you part of my steak. She goes, oh, but I'm so full. I go, what she didn't realize is like that breaded eggplant garbage that she was going to eat, which eggplant. Eggplant's just a nasty tasting thing.

Let's be honest. The only way to make eggplant taste great is if you soak it in olive oil, bread it, throw some cheese on it. So by the time you're eating it, you're getting like, I don't know, a thousand calories of fat.

Right.

Right.

And five calories of eggplant. So she somehow thinks she's going to eat light with this, you know, fat bomb on her plate instead of her four ounces of steak.

I get that little dose that. those Sprouts cage-free egg whites. So today I had like two eggs, poured a bunch of egg whites in. Easy peasy. It's so simple. Oh my gosh.

First of all, everybody should be trying to build muscle. Right. Well, I agree. And everybody should be trying to build quality muscle. So I also think there's, you know, because if you look at training, what was interesting when I was in grad school and I was doing this project that I was testing, if your quad strength was bigger, would you have better spinal lifting biomechanics?

Seems obvious, right? But that was the thesis. And so I had to build strength quickly. But it's interesting, building strength is actually different than building muscle. And so I like to kind of hit the middle because we do want to build strength, power, and muscle. So do heavy things fast. Remember the ultra slow training? I'm like, this is not good. You do not want to train slow. This is bad.

I know they were all like time under tension. I'm like, Train slow, go slow.

Yep. It's oh, it's so I mean, like you want to lose weight. do resistance training. You want to get a better VO2 max, do resistance. Like it's just, it's so clear. And you could do, you know, some high intensity functional training.
