I'vebeen checking my body temp & have noticed this:when my diet is low in protein, my body temp is low.when high(er) in protein, body temp rises! why?

High Pro more heat: One of the main mechanisms by which high-protein diets raise your metabolism is by increasing thermogenesis, or the process of turning energy into heat in your body. Thermogenesis increases calorie-burning and body temperature.
