Understanding the Digestion of Macronutrients and Caloric Expenses
35:11 - 40:08 (04:57)
Digesting food requires a certain amount of calories to break down the macronutrients in it, which varies depending on the type of food consumed. For instance, when consuming 100 calories of protein, 20 to 30 calories are used for digestion, accounting for 20 to 30 percent of the protein.

Summary
The process of energy exchange in digestion is the caloric expense of digesting food by the body. The amount of calories burned while digesting food depends on the type of food and its macronutrient composition.

Companies use the atwater system of calculating calories in food, which can result in discrepancies in the actual caloric intake.
38:36 - 39:33 (00:56)
Summary
Companies use the atwater system of calculating calories in food, which can result in discrepancies in the actual caloric intake. An example is the almond, which may have a label of 170 calories but in actuality, only provides a net caloric intake of 129 calories.
