The thermic effect of food is a term used to describe the energy cost of processing the food we eat, digesting it, and either turning it into precursors for needed biosynthesis, usable energy in the form of ATP, or storing the excess intake as fat. The thermic effect is usually approximated at 10% of the total calories consumed, but the thermic effect of fat is only 2-3% of total fat calories while the thermic effect of protein is 30% or more of calories consumed as protein. In your opinion, why dietary protein has a much higher thermic effect than dietary fat?
