The thermic effect of food is a term used to describe the energy cost of processing the food we eat, digesting it, and either turning it into precursors for needed biosynthesis, usable energy in the form of ATP, or storing the excess intake as fat. The thermic effect is usually approximated at 10% of the total calories consumed, but the thermic effect of fat is only 2-3% of total fat calories while the thermic effect of protein is 30% or more of calories consumed as protein. In your opinion, why dietary protein has a much higher thermic effect than dietary fat?

Essential nutrients

These are the organic compounds present in the food that provide nourishment essential for the development and growth of our body. Nutrients not only provide us with the required energy to carry out various biological processes but are also the building blocks for repair and growth in our bodies.

Vitamins

The vitamins are organic molecules required in low concentration for the proper functioning of the body. They cannot be generated in the organism and are taken into the body through the diet. The lack of proper vitamins results in diverse deficiency disorders. They are thus called essential nutrients. The important vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin E.
