Question:

what give aluminum this heat transferring ability?

i mean on a molecular levelwhat makes aluminum transfer heat wellaluminum foil cool very fastand it makes me wonder if it is just because of how thin it is or a molecular ability aluminum possesses?

Answer:

Only plant based foods contain fiber, so your protein will be from a plant source, if you are looking for a single food to do the jobThe lowly legume is probably your very best choiceSomething like roasted soy beans would make a great high protein, high fiber snackHowever, there are plenty of combination foods or combinations of foods that could also fill your needsFor example, there are many sports bars on the market - such as the Cliff bar - made with multiple ingredients, that are high in both protein and fiberYou can make your own fast, high protein and fiber snack by spreading hummus on whole wheat crackers or a whole grain bagelOr you can eat a bowl of whole grain cereal with milk and berriesPeanut butter on apple slices, homemade bran muffins made with milk and eggs, a fruit smoothie made with plain yogurt, vegetables and fruits in your blender, celery dipped in low fat cottage cheese, pitted prunes filled with peanut butter, or yogurt sprinkled with granola are all combinations that would work.
All metals have good heat conductivity that is a molecular property and doesn't depend on the thickness of the metalThe beginner's description of the bonding in metals is that it consists of a bunch of positive centers (metal atoms) in a sea of electronsAt the more advanced level we have band theoryConsider a line of Li atoms (Li is 2s^1) the 2s AOs on the Li atoms overlap that when extended in 3D gives a band of MOs that are only partially filledWithin the bands are closely spaced MOsWhen heat energy is applied to one end of the metal the electrons can take up thermal energy and be promoted to a higher energy MO within the band that may extend quite a length in the metalElectrons being the magical particles that they are can rapidly travel that distance and drop back down to a low energy MO giving back the energy as lattice vibrations otherwise known as heat, and heat conduction takes placeElectrical conduction is believed to be a similar phenomenoncheers.
An apple or a banana, both are good but an apple contains the most fiber
