Which burns First carbs or fat?


Open in App
Solution

Carbohydrates :

  1. Carbohydrates are the first the body uses for energy. If carbohydrate reserves are exhausted, then the body uses fats.
  2. Fat intake does not promote fat use as an energy source – carbs are used first.
  3. if the carb calories are eaten are sufficient, the excess fat calories in the diet go directly to fat storage.
  4. Fat also gives fewer fullness signals to the brain (protein gives the most, followed by carbs, followed by fat).
