Episode 303 - Got Protein? Get ready to rev up your metabolism!

This week I discuss a study which looks into how different doses of protein could affect your metabolic rate! 

This is referred to as TEF or the thermic effect of food which refers to the increase in metabolic rate as a direct result of digesting, absorbing, and assimilating the consumed nutrients. In simpler terms, it's the energy expenditure your body experiences while breaking down food. This process plays a crucial role in maintaining your body's metabolism and can impact weight management.

In this study, overweight males and females were given 30g and 50g of whey protein and then had their metabolic rates measured over a period of time.

The Conclusion: The thermic effect of eating 50g of whey protein was significantly higher (34%) as compared to 30g of whey protein. So protein oxidation may be an important driver of thermogenesis at doses higher than 30 g. These results have concrete implications when choosing a dose of protein to optimize its thermogenic effect!
