That's what I like to do now for my HIIT is I'll do like, you know, up downs, then I'll do mountain climbers, then I'll do, right, squat jumps. And so I'm doing that kind of stuff. I say I like to do it. I hate, like, hate, like. Anyway, so over to muscle. So What I tell people, I think the low end, the lowest end should be 0.7 grams per pound.

From everything I've looked at, that seems to be the low end.

Right.

Right.

And then, you know, more to me, I'd rather pad it because it's an insurance policy. But for me, and I think if you're trying to lose weight or recomp, eat more protein. You'll be full. It's more thermic. Like, you know, you eat 100 calories of protein, you're going to absorb, what, 75 of those? Because it's so metabolically costly to do muscle protein turnover versus you eat 100 grams of fat.

You got 100 grams of 400 or 900 calories there. You're not using any of that in the digestion of fat. What are you going to use, like 10 calories? Yeah. So, you know, it's super costly. It's super satiating. It's most people aren't going to pig out on it. Like never, ever has anyone gone. I went to the movies and I ate 12 chickens. Yeah. buckets of popcorn.

Like if you give me the endless bucket of popcorn at the movies, like I'm going to be the pig to the trough at movies. I'll just keep going back and just like back and back and back. So for me personally, I do more in the one and a half grams per pound of body weight because I just, so I eat about 200 grams of protein a day.

I just feel, and I've, it was interesting. I've always felt better that way. I've always eaten that way. And I remember I did a biome test years ago and they're like, you have the genetics that just do better with lots of protein. I'm like, I don't know. I think everybody has the genetics that just does better with lots of protein.

Well, and the thing is, if you're eating healthy, clean protein, you're going to get fat with it because all animal protein comes with fat. And even if you're doing egg whites, like I'll always do a couple eggs with egg whites because I can't get enough protein just from eggs. I'll so overload it.

Right.

Right.

But, you know, you think about it and go, all right, you know, tonight we're having grass fed beef. We'll get some fat there. You know, I had the egg, egg white thing. So I got some fat. So you'll get fat with the animal protein. And then you'll use a little extra virgin olive oil and cooking and you're good.
