Daily Macronutrient Intake
O Que é o Efeito Térmico dos Alimentos (TEF)?
The Thermic Effect of Food (TEF), also called diet-induced thermogenesis, is the energy your body uses to digest, absorb, and metabolise the food you eat. TEF typically accounts for about 10% of total daily energy expenditure.
| Macronutriente | Faixa TEF | Ponto Médio Usado |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | 20-30% | 25% |
| Carbohydrates | 5-10% | 7.5% |
| Fat | 0-3% | 1.5% |
Por Que a Proteína Tem o TEF Mais Alto
Protein requires significantly more energy to digest than carbs or fat. This is one reason high-protein diets can support weight loss — your body burns more calories just processing the protein you eat.
