Protein and Fat Loss

It takes about 25-27 calories to digest and utilize about 100 calories of protein, this means that your net consumption of calories is about 75 calories.

This is called the Thermic Effect of Food.

If you eat protein at every meal then you are forcing your body to work more and burn more calories basically burning fat!
