After eating a carb-heavy meal, people with more active brown fat burn about twice as much extra energy as people with less active brown fat, which might help with managing body weight.

Merged Assertions

1

The following assertions have been merged into this one because they express the same claim:

In healthy young men, diet-induced thermogenesis after a carbohydrate-rich meal is approximately twice as high in individuals with high brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity compared to those with low BAT activity, with a mean difference of 4.35% vs. 2.12% of ingested energy, suggesting BAT contributes significantly to postprandial energy expenditure following carbohydrate intake.

After eating carbs, people with more active brown fat keep burning extra calories for the full two hours afterward, not just right after the meal.

People with more active brown fat burn over twice as many extra calories after eating carbs as people with less active brown fat — this could explain why some people stay leaner even when eating the same food.
