The order your body burns calories.

Another nugget of made up info!!!

Seriously! Where are you getting this stuff from?

May I please request the scientific evidence that backs this claim?

Really wish people would stop posting "facts" without then backing it up with evidence..

while the op is a troll in my opinon

I also learned in school that fat is the last thing the body wants to break down since its more complicated than breaking down a carb. But at night...no your body does not burn stored fat...

Dear OP:

Love this info! Thanks!

^This is the reason why I hate trolls. It's a sin really.

Say wha???

What you'll want to do is setup your food intake so that at night, you're in the Protein & Fat burning zone.

i smell hoscience.

how about telling us HOW to set yourself up for the protein/fat burning zone?

Man I love the protein burning zone. I prefer to use the zone with my charcoal BBQ in it for my protein burning. The protein I burn is usually chicken, how about you?

Did you know that your body burns calories in a specific order?
Did you know that it always burns two sources at one time?
Here's the order: Carbs -> Protein -> Fat -> Muscle.
So it starts with carbs and protein, moves on to protein and fat and then to fat and muscle.
What you'll want to do is setup your food intake so that at night, you're in the Protein & Fat burning zone.
At night especially, your body burns stored fat.

*sigh*

Where do you get the idea that your body burns two sources at one time?

Look... simple is good... over-simplification is bad. I don't know where you're getting your information, but it's mostly false.

Here's the deal: Your body needs more than just calories to be healthy and happy. Carbs are energy and your body will burn those first. This is correct. HOWEVER, if you eat a surplus of protein, more than your body needs for the synthesis of enzymes, etc.., then your body converts those proteins to an energy source and very happily burns those along with the carbs. Ditto with the fat.

If you are in a calorie deficit... then you will meet that deficit with fat stores. However, you will also pull some protein out of your muscles to meet your amino acid needs and perhaps some energy needs as well. How much you catabolize is dependent on whether you're exercising or sedentary, and on what kinds of exercise you do, and on genetics, and probably a host of other things.

The timing of nutrient intake is pretty much irrelevant for the average person. Athletes might need to worry about it, but the rest of us really don't. You don't have to do anything special at night to optimize fat burning or anything like that.

OP, I hope you know this isn't the chit chat forum where jokes are allowed.

pork souvlaki!

Sounds delicious, My bf is having a pigs roast this weekend. I'm a breast kind of girl tho. What do you use to 'spice' up your protein burning routine?

Carbs -> Protein -> Fat -> Muscle.

So I should eat my pizza like this...?

Crust >Sauce>Meat>Cheese

Good to know I have been doing it wrong this whole time!

You should most definitely eat the meat first...

equal parts olive oil & lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, and lots of garlic cloves. marinate overnight. and of course, a batch of full fat tzatziki to complement the kabobs.

Yum, this protein burning thread makes for a great recipe. I love tzatziki. What order should I eat that again?

Carbs -> Protein -> Fat -> Muscle.

Sauce=protein meat=fat and cheese=muscle? This makes me giggle, you're doing the pizza eating all wrong. It's obviously suppose to go crust>meat>cheese>sauce....because everyone knows about muscle sauce.

OK, so I will methodically pick it apart and leave the sauce to eat with a spoon! Thanks!

Just get a spork, you'll dirty less utensils trying to fork out all the meat.

Carry on. I see the smart folks are all over this.

OP. Read something scientific. Not beauty magazines or Cosmo.
