The thermic effect of food for protein is about 20-35% higher than your basal metabolism.   I have talked to a few pro-bodybuilders and they all consume a huge amount of meats and still lose fat easily.  In fact, the extra metabolism will even raise the normal temperature of your body.


  • Protein: 20-35% of calories burned through processing
  • Carbohydrates: 5-15% of calories burned through processing
  • Fats: 0-5% of calories burned through processing
