Rocky Balboa was full of shit, my whole life is a lie. 🥊
"postexercise muscle protein synthesis rates do not differ after ingestion of 5 raw compared with 5 boiled eggs in healthy young men."

A reminder of the importance of fat-free mass (FFM💪) for resting metabolic rate (RMR)
Each kg of FFM associated with 20 kcal/d⬆️RMR
FM not associated with ⬆️RMR
Data: doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem.2020-…
Study led by @O_Chrzanowski
RMR measured in duplicate ✅✅
Body composition by DXA

A bit more on this one
Why did we decide to see if ketones ⬆️ EPO?
What did we find?
How do we think they work?

Does dietary sugar cause blood sugar levels to spike and crash?
🍭📉
Our latest study shows little evidence for this
High-sugar breakfasts did not change blood sugars much compared to low-sugar breakfasts
This does not rule out other health effects
doi.org/10.1007/s00394-022-0…

Similarly, blood sugar and insulin responses didnt differ much with sugar restriction but were much lower with total carb restriction.
This might be surprising but makes sense with the knowledge that table sugar has a lower glycemic index than many non-sugar carbs 🍬🍚
