Episode notes

During a caloric deficit, the body shifts to using protein and amino acids as an energy source, leading to a catabolic state that prioritizes energy over muscle maintenance. This can be detrimental for athletes or individuals aiming to lose weight. Supplementing essential amino acids can help preserve muscle mass even with reduced calorie intake, allowing for a lower overall protein consumption while still meeting the body's needs.
