| Description | Thermic effect of food is a part of the total daily energy expenditure. Thermic effect of food is explained as an increase in resting energy expenditure in the postprandial period and can be assessed by indirect calorimetry. The thermic effect of mixed diet increases the basal energy expenditure by an average of 10 %. The composition of the diet, particularly the protein fraction influences the thermal effect at most. The selected methodology (laboratory protocol) is limiting when interpreting results. There are other limiting factors, such as the direct impact of nutrition and factors affecting physiological functions in humans. |
