protein and metabolism

[mike1107]

in a cutting cycle, does the fact of increase the protein intake accelerate the metabolism and help to become more cut ??

 

[MuscleDm]

To be very basic, the metabolic processes that go into the breakdown of protein are more costly than of the other two macronutrients. Especially when it is the conversion to stored triglyceride. It is difficult to put on adipose tissue from excessive caloric intake from lean protein sources. The thermic effect of protein is quite high too.

so it'd be a good idea to add a protein shake just before I go to the bed while my cutting cycle ?
