Protein in pill form?
is it possible to get additional protein in my diet (without adding calories) in the form of a pill?
|
I would imagine not. Even if there was a pill, each gram of protein has 4 calories.
|
so how are amino acid supplements without calories then i wonder?
amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. |
The completed protein structure has the energy (calories) in the chemical bonds between the amino acids. The acids themselves have very little energy stored in their internal bonds.
|
duh. i have total brain farts sometimes.
ty mand. :) |
So if a person loaded up on amino acid supplements, it would technically be like adding protein without calories?
