Title: Re: List and explain factors that influence the thermic effect of food. Post by: padre on Aug 24, 2013 • type of macronutrient (fat has least effect; protein has greatest)
• meal composition (consuming all three types of nutrients produces lower TEF) • fiber content (high fiber meal produces lower TEF) • age (TEF declines with age) • environmental temperature (eating in a cold environment increases TEF) • alcohol (increases TEF, unless consumed in a cold environment) • intense exercise (raises TEF) • training status (trained athletes have lower TEF) • obesity (obese individuals have lower TEF than normal-weight individuals) Title: Re: List and explain factors that influence the thermic effect of food.
