How are men different from women?

Accordingly, men will feel healthier when eating foods containing more starch (carbohydrate) in the morning, while women's breakfast is encouraged to have a relatively higher fat content. Researchers believe that this can be applied to adjust people's diets in a personalized way, creating significant improvements to health, according to Healthline .

Breakfast with adequate starch is the recommended menu for men.

Muscle-fat ratio is an important factor

Catherine Gervacio, a nutritionist in the US, said the reason for the difference in nutrient needs in breakfast is because men have more muscle mass than women. This means that men's bodies often rely on starch for energy, especially during physical activities, while women's bodies burn fat better, especially when resting or fasting.

Hormonal differences also play a role: “Hormones like estrogen in women promote fat storage and burning. On the other hand, male hormones, like testosterone, support more muscle growth, so their metabolism is more geared toward breaking down carbs for immediate energy,” adds Gervacio.

Additionally, differences in muscle-fat ratios and the way organs use energy lead to different nutrient priorities: Women's bodies conserve and use fat for energy more efficiently, while men's bodies tend to focus on burning carbohydrates faster for quick energy.

Prevent obesity by personalizing meals

According to Akanksha Kulkarni, a nutritionist in the UK, differences in factors such as biological sex, hormones, age and physical activity must be carefully considered before embarking on health improvement issues. Because each individual has different physical needs and conditions, feeling, listening and understanding the body are important steps to take if you want to take care of both physical and mental health.

Experts also recommend that people personalize their meals to best meet their nutritional needs. For example, a weight loss diet for men might include more complex carbohydrates, while a woman's menu might incorporate more healthy oils (like olive oil).

“Taking into account the gender aspects of metabolism helps to better control inflammation and blood sugar levels, which aids in better control of future overweight and obesity, thereby improving overall health,” added Nutritionist Kulkarni.
