The thermic effect of food (TEF) is the energy expended digesting, absorbing, and metabolising nutrients. Protein has the highest TEF (20–30%); carbohydrates moderate (5–10%); fat lowest (0–3%). TEF accounts for roughly 10% of total daily energy expenditure.

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  1. 1Protein TEF: 20–30% of protein calories burned in digestion
  2. 2Carbohydrate TEF: 5–10%
  3. 3Fat TEF: 0–3%
  4. 4Total TEF = Σ(macronutrient calories × TEF rate)

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
2,000 kcal diet: 30% protein, 50% carbs, 20% fat
Kết quả
TEF ≈ 178 kcal/day (8.9% of intake)
High protein diets have largest thermic effect
