Dietary Fat Turns Into Body Fat More Easily
All food or drink 'surplus to requirements'
(whether carbs, protein or fat) converts to fat in your body, causing
you to gain weight - but dietary fat is particularly efficient at doing
so. Fat is the most efficient nutrient at turning into body fat, using
only around 3 percent energy in conversion. By comparison, about 20 percent
of carb energy is burned up in this conversion to body fat. At 9 calories
a gram (about 50 calories per teaspoon), fats and oils are the highest-calorie
food you can eat.
