# Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) **Precise values:** TEF accounts for approximately **10% of total daily energy expenditure**, but varies by macronutrient: - Protein: 20-30% of calories consumed - Carbohydrates: 5-10% of calories consumed - Fats: 0-3% of calories consumed **Why it matters:** TEF represents the energy your body expends digesting, absorbing, and processing nutrients, which directly impacts your net caloric intake and metabolic rate. This explains why higher-protein diets can modestly increase calorie burning and why two diets with identical calories but different macronutrient compositions may produce different weight loss results.
