Answer 2

The type of food eaten can also influence your metabolism. The food you eat can either be burned to liberate energy, converted into body weight, or it can be excreted.
All foods release heat when they are burned. This release of heat is measured in kilocalories.
A calorie is a unit of heat. Practically speaking this unit is too small to be useful therefore the kilocalorie is the preferred unit in metabolite studies.
Not all foods are burned completely to produce energy. Some of them are only partially degraded to provide building blocks to support repair and growth.
Generally speaking, the calories coming from protein are used for maintenance, repair, and growth of new tissues and organs. Calories from carbohydrates are used for energy.
Calories from conventional sources of fat are prone to be stored as fat since they already have the same molecular structure as body fat. The heat liberated from a particular food is thus a measure not only of its energy content but also of its tendency to be burned as heat. This is known as the thermogenic effect.

Kilocalories: The amount of energy released when food is digested.

Calorie: A unit of heat.

Thermogenic effect: The heat liberated from a particular food is thus a measure not only of its energy content but also of its tendency to be burned as heat.
