Particularly when you have more than your body needs, it is a very slow and energy consuming process to turn it into glycogen. It's a property that bodybuilders exploit to help build muscle and hopefully burn some fat in the process. As to body-temp regulation I just don't have any data on that. | |
| Sep 1, 2011 at 16:25 | comment | added | mfg | @Ber the higher protein content would aid body temp regulation? [Like I said, I understand this is very likely an anomaly based on a small sample (2 nights leans toward coincidence) but wanted to see if there was real data on this, not wives' tales] | |

My gut tells me it might not have been the capsaicin acid that caused the difference. Perhaps try the pre-exercise meal you used on the 30-mile right without the hot sauce just to make sure it wasn't the higher protein content in the eggs first. | |
