After a few discussions this past week around calories, i got thinking about
a) how fat yields more energy when its bust up than carbs and protein
but in particular
b) how fat has WAY MORE energy than any other source of fuel specifically for our bodies to use as energy directly. one molecule of fat yields more than ten times the usable energy of a molecule of carbs.
So here's a bit more on the amazingness of Fat, ATP and fat burning in the flame of carbohydrates. just fyi. and a wee bit of a question as whether fat is actually hard to shed or if it's more the fat habit?
