In this episode of Help Me Understand, JK shares education and information about Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), explaining its significance in fitness and nutrition.
He breaks down the components of TDEE, including Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT), the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF), and Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT).
JK also shares his perspective that while exercise is important, it contributes the least to overall calorie expenditure compared to other factors.
This episode aims to simplify the understanding of energy expenditure and guide listeners on where to focus their efforts for better health and fitness outcomes.
