A new study shows that women who intake protein half an hour before exercise can burn more calories than those who does not consume protein before exercise.
Ashley Binns, a medical student in Kinesiology and Exercise University of Arkansas, as the authors of the study say that the purpose of this study was to determine the interaction between the thermic effect of food and exercise on the body's total energy expenditure, which is measured in calories.
Thermic effect is the amount of energy required to digest, store and utilize the food we eat.
Binns said that people who eat protein foods before exercise there is a tendency to burn more calories. This means that there are greater opportunities to lose weight.
"Protein and training to be a combination that can not be separated when you are planning to lose weight," he said.
The study involved 15 women who were divided into three groups. The first group was given a high dietary intake of protein, the second group was given a low-protein diet and the third group was given no food at all. Then all participants were asked to walk on a treadmill for 25 minutes.
As a result, the group given high-protein foods are known to increase the thermic effect on their bodies. These effects contribute greatly to increased metabolism and burning calories in the body of the total participants.
While the group was not given food intake did have signs of muscle contraction, because the protein in their muscles are broken down and used as an energy source.
The study has been published in the Journal of Science and Medicine.
