Your friend wants to go on a low-carbohydrate diet so that he can lose some of the "baby fat" he's still carrying. He asks your advice; what do you tell him?
Which of the following food molecules would generate the most ATP molecules, assuming that glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain were all functioning and that the foods were consumed in equal amounts: carbohydrates, proteins, or fats? Explain your answer.
