And so I think that that's where you start to get really high numbers, 2.2, even higher.

You can find studies out there.

It's like three grams per kilogram per body weight.

Going above the 1.6 in this scenario seems to be key as well.

You're getting up to that 2.2 grams per kilogram body weight per day because it does give you a little bit more edge over gaining muscle, muscle protein synthesis in combination with resistance training, as well as it's like you mentioned, it's satiating.

Little bit thermogenic.

I don't know that that's the big mechanism here, but I think the big mechanism here is just you're really wanting to prevent this catabolism.

So I think that's just another important point because there are a lot of people that do intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating.

They're trying to do body recomp, gain muscle, lose fat.

I think a lot of people are interested in that.

Did you have any like GI problems consuming so many shakes?

Or people on GLP-1, right, receptor agonists, right?

And I don't know how difficult it is to eat a meal versus like take a protein shake.

You're satiated pretty much all the time.

You don't have a real appetite, but also digestion is slowed.

So if you're like consuming more protein, I don't know how that all affects you.

Well, the answer is clear, right?

You don't want to be losing muscle mass for sure.

What kind of dose?

Are they on like a higher dose?
