No, Food Is NOT Fuel(And, Thankfully, You’re Not A Ferrari.)

“Sure, the macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in food contain “energy” or “calories”. Or, perhaps most correctly, “chemical bonds that, when broken, are used to create ATP”.

But food also includes micronutrients, phytochemicals, zoochemicals, water, and more.

Think of these as character actors in a movie. They may not be the “stars” of the show. They don’t really provide “energy” (or fuel) at all.

Yet their dynamic interactions create the spark. They’re absolutely critical for energy, performance, mood, and optimal long-term health. In other words, without them, the show won’t go on.“—John Berardi, Brian St. Pierre and Krista Scott-Dixon,  Precision Nutrition
