Macronutrients and calories burned
The macronutrient content of a meal can influence how many calories you burn throughout the day; this is referred to as, “diet-induced thermogenesis.” While this particular study is a little older, it is well-accepted that higher protein meals will induce greater energy expenditure than high carb or high fat meals. Therefore, if you’re trying to optimize nutrition for creating a calorie deficit, consuming a high protein diet can help!
