metabolic efficiency

Metabolic efficiency refers to how effectively your body converts the food and drinks you consume into energy for daily activities and bodily functions. When your metabolism is efficient, your body uses calories more effectively, meaning less energy is wasted as heat or stored as fat. Factors like genetics, activity level, muscle mass, and diet influence metabolic efficiency. Improving it can involve regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and maintaining healthy habits, helping you feel more energetic and potentially support better weight management. Essentially, it’s about optimizing your body's ability to turn what you eat into the fuel you need.
