your temperature at night when you're sleeping so it burns off.

And if it gets past then, then it'll be added to fat.

Protein, on the other hand, cannot be saved by the body.

You cannot save protein.

So the protein that you don't use in the day doesn't go into some protein repository so you can use it the next day.

If you don't need it to grow your hair, your fingernails, or repair bones,

or whatever you would need to do with protein, new cells.

It just goes through a very complicated process to basically turn it into something else so it can be eliminated from the body.

This obsession with protein comes from partly the meat industry and partly health influencers like Peter Atiyah, for example, and Max Huberman.

You mean Andrew Huberman?

Andrew Huberman.

Sorry.

They were pushing...

And I like both those guys.

I read their book.

I listened to Huberman's podcast and I like Peter Atiyah.

He lives in Austin.

But I think they're misguiding people on a protein.

They're not nutritionists themselves and I don't think they're really following the science very carefully.

Well, there's not much of a vegan... It's become politicized.
