So, where does meat come in? Here's the rub: Different food types require different amounts of energy to break down - and protein, which meats are chock-full
of, requires the most. There are probably a few reasons behind this, Mukherjee said. One is that proteins are complicated molecules made up of lots of
little chemical bonds. Each of those bonds needs to be broken by different types of enzymes before that protein can be metabolized. Creating all those
enzymes takes some extra effort on your body's part. Another reason may be that your body loves protein so much that it immediately uses the energy from
digested proteins to start making new ones. "This process is also heat intensive," Mukherjee said. Even the texture of meat can play a part in the resulting
digestive battle. "Given the toughness of meat and its complexity, it needs to be chewed quite a bit before swallowing it," Mukherjee said. That means
that more work goes into gnashing up each chunk of protein, which means more energy and heat are produced with every bite. In other words, when professional
competitive eater L.A. Beast told BuzzFeed that "eating a giant piece-of-meat is like going to the gym," he may not have been that far off. So, a little
bit of post-barbecue perspiration is nothing to worry about. Go ahead and grab a second (or third, or fourth) hot dog! However, given that the meat sweats
first entered public consciousness through competitive eating - a pastime that hinges on scarfing down way too much food, way too quickly-meat sweats
