Hello, how are you? I am fine. I'm just going to let you get right into this week's podcast,

which I have very special guests, although basically co-host now, Andy,

and we go through many of your questions and have a good discussion. So without fair ado, enjoy.

Hi, we have Andy here. Hi, Andy.

Hi, Emma. How are you? I am very well. How are you?

Yeah, good, thank you. Good. Um, although I should have said, I'm fine.

So it's kind of just looking like as long as you're hitting your protein numbers over the course of a day, you're doing what you need to do even with trading in between.

But as we mentioned, I think it was last week actually we had this chat about it.

And getting in 20 grams of protein afterwards may help stimulate muscle, protein muscle synthesis.

So covering the basis, you're maybe better to try to get something in. But if you

can, if your lifestyle doesn't allow it, I wouldn't stress too much about it. It's not a huge,

not a huge problem. Yeah, I think this is what people get a bit confused about. Like, right,
