Discuss three factors contributing to DEE (daily energy expenditure). Explain which factor contributes the most.

Solution

Answer:

Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE): this is influenced by mainly three factors as described below

1) The total resting metabolic rate mainly influences TDEE that includes mainly energy expenses needed for basal & sleeping activity and extra metabolic energy required for arousal

2) The total heat generated or the thermogenic effect produces due to daily food consumption

3) The total energy cost occurred during physical activity and recovery

TDEE is mostly influenced by energy expended during physical activity followed by recovery due to high muscular activity
