MS told me that protein is midly thermogenic. Could someone enlighten me as to what degree of thermogenic it is? (eg. how many calories of the ingested ones are burned in digestion?) 10%? 15%? 99?  Whatever... "Thanks     | ||

"Typically, the thermogenic nature of foods raises the metabolic rate by 10% daily." DID I READ THAT CORRECTLY?! IF SO, THAT WOULD MEAN BY THE END OF THE MONTH MY METABOLISM WOULD BE 30 x 10 = 300% RAISE?! I got it all wrong i know. | ||

quote: No,no,no. If your Metabolic rate is 3000Kcal/day you woud lose 300 of those Kcal due to food thermogenesis. Basically, 10% of the calories are lost as heat. Godspeed |
