What are the components of total daily energy expenditure?
What will be an ideal response?
About 50-70 percent of total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is attributable to basal metabolic rate (BMR), the amount of energy spent to meet the body's basic physiological needs when it is at rest. Lean body mass accounts for about 70 percent of BMR. In addition to BMR, TDEE includes the thermic effect of food (TEF), or the energy spent to digest and absorb nutrients from food; adaptive thermogenesis, the processes by which the body regulates heat production; and the thermic effect of exercise (TEE), which includes the energy spent on physical activities and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).
