Still think weight loss is just calories in, calories out? Let’s break that down. Your metabolism responds differently depending on what you eat. Processed foods have a much lower thermic effect, meaning your body barely burns any energy to digest them. But protein? It takes real work to break down, which helps you burn more and feel full longer. Calories do count, but where they come from counts more. #caloriesincaloriesout #calories #metabolichealth #jjvirgin #calorieintake
