Lifestyle is a big factor in our overall health. We live busy lives, so it's important to understand how seemingly inconsequential decisions, such as what to have for breakfast, can affect our health and energy levels. Whether attempting to lose weight, maintain weight, or just keep up your energy, understanding your diet's impact on your metabolism is important.
We often have less research data on women's bodies than on men's bodies. By building mathematical models based on the data we do have, we can test lots of hypotheses quickly and tweak experiments in ways that would be impractical with human subjects.
Since women have more body fat on average than men, you would think that they would burn less fat for energy, but they don't. The results of the model suggest that women store more fat immediately after a meal but also burn more fat during a fast.
The study shows that men's metabolisms respond better on average to high carbohydrate meals after fasting, while women benefit from higher fat meals, such as omelettes and avocados.
