RE: Spam:*******, Re: [RC] Hay to keep warm - Ranelle Rubin

Nancy, yes it does take a certain amount of fuel just to convert your food to energy and nutrients your body can use. There are some foods that require a higher amount than others. Celery, for example contains very few calories, yet requires quite a few to convert. I have heard it say celery is a negative, in that it requires more to convert than are contained in it. Fuel efficiency is definitely something I take into consideration when designing a nutrition program for an athletic horse.

Disclaimer: I do not know this for a fact, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn last night! I have, however taken many science courses in college on nutrition, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, Chemistry, and the dreaded "O-Chem"..never was good at tinker toys!
