Energy expenditure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Energy expenditure, often estimated as the total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), is the amount of energy burned by the human body.

Causes of energy expenditure[edit]

Resting metabolic rate[edit]

Main article: Resting metabolic rate

Resting metabolic rate generally composes 60 to 75 percent of TDEE.[1] Because adipose tissue does not use much energy to maintain, fat free mass is a better predictor of metabolic rate. A taller person will typically have less fat mass than a shorter person at the same weight and therefore burn more energy. Men also carry more skeletal muscle tissue on average than women, and other sex differences in organ size account for sex differences in metabolic rate. Obese individuals burn more energy than lean individuals due to increase in the amount of calories needed to maintain adipose tissue and other organs that grow in size in response to obesity.[2] At rest, the largest fractions of energy are burned by the skeletal muscles, brain, and liver; around 20 percent each.[2] Increasing skeletal muscle tissue can increase metabolic rate.[1]

Activity[edit]

Energy burned during physical activity includes the thermic effect of physical activity (TEPA) and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).[1]

Thermic effect of food[edit]

Main article: Thermic effect of food

Thermic effect of food is the amount of energy burned digesting food, around 10 percent of TDEE. Proteins are the component of food requiring the most energy to digest.[3]

Changing energy expenditure[edit]

Weight change[edit]

Losing or gaining weight affects the energy expenditure. Reduced energy expenditure after weight loss can be a major challenge for people seeking to avoid weight regain after weight loss.[4] It is controversial whether losing weight causes a decrease in energy expenditure greater than expected by the loss of adipose tissue and fat-free mass during weight loss.[5] This excess reduction is termed adaptive thermogenesis and it is estimated that it might compose 50 to 100 kcal/day in people actively losing weight. Some studies have reported that it disappears after a short period of weight stability, while others report longer-lasting effects.[2]

Changing the activity level[edit]

Increasing exercise is recommended as a way to increase energy expenditure in individuals seeking to lose weight.[6][7]

Drugs[edit]

Main article: Weight loss drug § Energy expenditure

Some drugs used for weight loss work by increasing energy expenditure. Two of the earliest weight loss drugs, 2,4-dinitrophenol and thyroid hormone, increase energy expenditure, but both were withdrawn from use due to risks.[8] Adrenergic agonists, especially those that work on the beta-2 adrenergic receptor, increase energy expenditure. Although some such as clenbuterol are used without medical approval for weight loss, none have achieved approval for this indication due to cardiac risks.[8][9]

Other drugs such as atypical antipsychotics are believed to reduce energy expenditure.[10][11]

Effects[edit]

Energy expenditure is a leading factor in regulating appetite and energy intake in humans.[12]

Measurement[edit]

Formulas have been devised to estimate energy expenditure in humans, but they may not be accurate for people with certain illnesses[13][14][15] or the elderly.[16] Not all formula are accurate in overweight or obese individuals.[17]

Wearable devices can help estimate energy expenditure from physical activity but their accuracy varies.[18]

TDEE Calculator web application is built using Mifflin-St. Jeor equation which is considered to be very authentic to measure the Total Daily Energy Expenditure.
