Generation

The thermic effect of food (TEF) is the increase in energy expenditure that occurs after eating, as the body digests, absorbs, and processes nutrients from food. Different macronutrients require different amounts of energy to metabolize: protein has the highest TEF at 20-30% of calories consumed, carbohydrates are around 5-10%, and fats are the lowest at 0-3%. **Key formula: TEF = (calories consumed × macronutrient TEF percentage)** On average, TEF accounts for approximately 10% of total daily energy expenditure in a mixed diet.
