Fat ingestion during exercise is not useful?
Is it helpful to ingest fats during exercise?
Fat and carbohydrate are the main fuel sources during prolonged endurance exercise. Fat is the main fuel source during low-intensity exercise, while carbohydrate is the main fuel source during higher intensity exercise (infographic, Van Loon, 2001).

Congrats!
You’re hired.
As a PhD student in muscle metabolism.
You want to determine what’s the best moment to eat protein for muscle mass gains.

Muscle protein synthesis is the underlying process that is driving muscle growth.
Jeff Nippard interviewed me on how to maximize muscle protein synthesis for his youtube channel/podcast.
These interviews are quite long and we go DEEP into the science. If you don’t care much about understanding the science, here are some of the practical takeaways.

Perfecting Protein Intake in Athletes: How Much, What, and When? (and Beyond)
Protein shakes are a meme associated with bodybuilding.
But do protein shakes really help build muscle mass?
And if so, how much protein should you eat in a meal? Does it matter what type of protein? How often should you eat protein during a day?

Carbohydrate Oxidation, Pre-sleep protein & Insulin (2 podcasts)
Why do you want exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rate as high as possible?
How do you distinguish between exogenous carbohydrates oxidized versus simply the total carbohydrate oxidized?
Does pre-sleep protein ingestion impart a benefit?
How does exercise performed earlier during the day synergize with pre-sleep protein?
These were just some of the questions Danny Lennon from Sigma Nutrition Radio asked me.
