708 - How Does Thermodynamics Apply To Nutrition? (with CSO Dr. Brandon Roberts)

Thermodynamics and nutrition have one major thing in common: they both involve energy. Thermodynamics is generally talked about with heat, efficiency, or the transfer of energy Nutrition is always about calories.. And it is often questioned whether a calorie is always a calorie. 1st law of thermodynamics = energy is conserved 2nd law of thermodynamics = energy transfer is not 100% efficient, often some is lost as heat A great example of thermodynamics applied to nutrition is macronutrients. We know that different macronutrients have different thermic effects. For example, protein has a much higher thermogenic effect than fat - about 20% compared to 0%. So not all calories are the same. Next, we have to think about what thermodynamics generally refers to and that’s closed systems.  A closed system always contains the same matter. There can be no mass transfers across the boundary. There may be energy transfer across the boundary. So, is the human body a closed system? Nope. We eat, digest, and pass food/water through our systems. Food is matter. Now, where some people disagree is whether the ketogenic diet can offer some type of metabolic advantage over traditional diets. —- To Download The Tailored Trainer and Gain Unlimited Access To Expert Programming, Sign Up Here: Tailored Trainer Sign Up Page To Get Your Questions Answered On The Podcast: Ask Us Here! 1st Phorm Supps: To Get FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING and Support The Podcast, Get Your Supplements At 1st Phorm Using Our Link: www.1stphorm.com/tailoredcoachingmethod To Apply For Coaching: Click Here Download 1 (or ALL) Of Our FREE GUIDES: www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides Private Podcast FB Community: Be Part Of The Conversation and Community, RIGHT HERE. — Extra Content For You:  How We Coach: Client Case Study Article Top 4 Podcast Episodes: - Nutritional Periodization - Nutrition FAQ - Training FAQ - My Story ---- Social Links: Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog
