Eat THIS to burn more calories [Metabolism Series 3 of 5]

You’ve heard that eating protein increases metabolism—but is that just another nutrition myth? The Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) makes up about 10% of your daily calorie burn, and not all foods are created equal.

We are offering a free Nutrition 101 guide that shows you exactly how to estimate your true, dynamic metabolism to determine what calories and macros you need. ⁠Download your free Nutrition 101 macros guide here.⁠ -- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ask a question for the podcast here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the Wits & Weights podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more evidence-based insights on fat loss, muscle building, and sustainable health, where Philip dives deeper into the science behind optimizing your body composition. -- References: Postprandial thermogenesis is increased 100% on a high-protein diet vs. a high-carbohydrate diet in healthy, young women
