Sugar is part of the carbohydrates group of nutrients. Along with fats and proteins, carbohydrates make up the largest digestible part of our daily diet. Particularly after physical exertion such as sport, it is important to replenish nutrient reserves that have been used for optimal regeneration of our cells. Proteins play the most important role in regenerating muscles and other body cells. However, they are only slowly processed by the body. Beef is, after whole egg (reference value: 100), one of the biologically most valuable sources of protein (index 92) and can be converted into body protein more quickly than other proteins, meaning it can be used for cell regeneration in a short space of time. Intake of proteins together with sugar (carbohydrates) additionally speeds up digestion of the proteins and thus they are available to the body even more quickly for regeneration. Background: carbohydrates can be converted by the body easily and serve as a transmitter or “nutrition taxi” for the accompanying quicker ingestion of protein. Even so: The sugar content of our meat snacks is so low that, in comparison with other snacks rich in carbohydrates, no excessive release of insulin takes place. The notorious “craving” feeling stays away.
