What’s Marianna Reading?

Fellow book girly wanting to know what Marianna’s current reads are!

Fat intake

In an episode it was recommended a minimum of 20% of calories come from fats to help basic bodily functions, especially women. Is this a minimum every day or to average over the week? For example, if I had a 30% fat day, does every other day that week still need to be 20%, or could I get 18ish% on all the other days to average 20% over the week? And would you recommend differently depending where a person is in their cycle?

Squat form

Is it ok for my knees to slightly cave in when coming up from a squat or is this something that needs to be completely avoided? I have seen so many opinions both ways. I’ve seen people say it’s ok to have them cave in slightly, and others who say the opposite and that it causes issues in your knees and abductor muscles.

Smart food scales

Are the smart food scales that tell you all the calories/nutrition information on the food you're weighing actual accurate?

Cupping, foam rolling, massages for recovery?

Alright so I have been curious... Does cupping, foam rolling, and/or massage really work for muscle recovery? Actually can you give the pros/cons, etc. for all of these types of things?
