Human Energy Expenditure
Basal energy expenditure (BEE) is the amount of energy the human body requires to maintain basic physiologic functions (heart beat, breathing, nervous activity).
Thermic effect of food (TEF) is the amount of energy expended ingesting and digesting food. This averages about 10% of the Basal energy expenditure.
Physical Activity has a major impact on energy expenditure.
