Energy Intake vs. Energy Expenditure ๐๐ฅ
- Energy Intake: Happens only when we eat. Think of it as filling up the gas tank of a car, but in our case, it's food.
- Energy Expenditure: Happens all the time. Imagine a car's engine running 24/7, constantly using up fuel.
- Real-world example: Just like a battery-powered toy constantly uses power when it's on, our body does too! Even while you're chilling and watching Netflix.
The Body's Backup Energy Stores ๐ซ๐
- We need a backup for energy between meals.
- Where do we store energy?
- Fats: Stored under our skin in something called adipose tissue.
- Real-world example: Think of fats as the large power banks you use when your phone's battery is low.
- Carbohydrates: Stored in our muscles and liver.
- Real-world example: Consider carbs as the quick chargers - they provide rapid energy, especially during workouts.
- Fats: Stored under our skin in something called adipose tissue.
- What about proteins? ๐ฅ
- Not really an "energy store."
- They have other jobs in the body. Breaking them down for energy means we're sacrificing their main roles.
- Real-world example: Imagine using your study table's wood to make a fire. Sure, it'll burn, but now you have no place to study!
