As we lead into the season of holiday parties 💃🏻🕺🏻 and indulgence, we must ask ourselves one very important question: are all cheese sammiches 🥪 created equal? (Yes, I said sammich).

Under the laws of thermodynamics, the answer is -> no, they are not created equal. A study by Barr & Wright (2010) actually attempted to answer this question. The study examined whether eating a cheese sandwich containing processed cheese and white bread had a different effect on the metabolism of study participants than a cheese sandwich containing real cheddar cheese and multi-grain, seeded bread. The sandwiches were matched for total calories.

The researchers found that when participants ate the processed cheese sandwich they had a lower metabolic rate within the next 6 hours than when they ate the unprocessed cheese sandwich. This means that participants who ate the unprocessed sandwich expended more energy digesting that sandwich compared to when they ate the processed sandwich. Significantly more energy in fact, about 137 kcal, 19.9% of meal energy versus 73 kcal, 10.7% of meal energy.

Think about the impact these differences can have over the span of a month, or even a year if you consistently make the choice to eat unprocessed over processed foods. Also, consider the fact that higher protein and higher fibre foods require more energy to digest than lower protein and lower fibre foods. The authors note that "Most processed meals in the typical American diet are higher in carbohydrates and lower in protein than comparable whole food meals".

So, if you have the option when you're out, try to choose less processed foods more often. Who knew we could learn so much from a cheese sammich.🤔
