I don't know if this is the case, but to me it is plausible. Our bodies do everything possible to normalize and to get all of the nutrients it can. You may be utilizing more food, etc. I just don't know. I do know that our intestines hypertrophy to get more protein, etc...meaning they grow a bit and the villi grow longer projections to absorb more. You are better off if you supplement well with vitamins and protein so the body doesn't normalize as much...in my opinion.
