Protein

💣800 calories of protein will only give you 3 hours of energy

⚡️⚡️⚡️

Where 800 calories of fat and carbs will give you 8 hours.

🤔 Why is a protein different to carbs and fat?

⚡️Although protein can be used for energy it’s mostly not.

If we take 200g of protein which is 800kcals, Around 4 chicken breasts.

🟣25% is used in its own digestion.

🟣 We are left with 150g /600kcals

🟣Around 50% of this can be burned as energy 75g/300kcals during the day this would take just 3 hours to burn off.

🟣The other 50% can go towards growth and repair.

🍰If we compare this to fat and carbs 800kcals of these would supply energy for around 8 hours.

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

🍰In the real world we could easily eat a slice of 800-calorie cake which is mostly fat and carbs, in one sitting, but it would be hard to eat 4 chicken breasts in one sitting.

🍰 If you eat the cake you would need to wait 8 hours before you tap into body fat. 🤔However if you did manage to eat 4 chicken breasts you would tap into body fat in just 3 hours.
