Protein burns 30 calories per 100 consumed just digesting it. Pair high protein with resistance training and walking to build muscle and raise your metabolic rate, letting you eat more without gaining fat.
But for every 100 calories of protein that you eat, how many calories do you think your body burns digesting that food? What if I told you for every 100 calories of protein you eat, your body can burn up to 30 of those calories? So when you eat 100 grams of protein, it's really like you're only eating 70 because protein has a higher thermic effect of food. It requires more calories from your body to break down and digest and use. Plus, piggybacking off of the previous point, What happens when you eat more protein and you're lifting weights? You build more muscle. So now we're having these components come together with walking more, lifting weights and building muscle, eating more protein, to where you're putting your metabolism in high-burning mode, leading you to be able to eat more calories, whether it's healthy food or not, and not gain fat because you'll now be using those calories.
