Select all that applyWhich statements about the thermic effect of food are true?

Solution
-
"It is defined as the energy the body uses to digest, absorb, transport, store, and metabolize the nutrients consumed in the diet." - This statement is true. The thermic effect of food (TEF) is the energy expended by our bodies in order to consume (bite, chew and swallow) and process (digest, absorb, transport, metabolize and store) food.
-
"If daily energy intake were 3,000 calories, TEF would account for 150–300 calories." - This statement is also true. The thermic effect of food is generally estimated to be around 10% of total daily energy expenditure. So, if you consume 3,000 calories in a day, you would burn about 150 to 300 calories through TEF.
-
"Small meals have higher TEF values than large amounts of food consumed in a short amount of time." - This statement is not necessarily true. The size of the meal does not significantly affect the TEF. What matters more is the composition of the meal. Protein-rich foods have a higher TEF compared to fats and carbohydrates.
