TEF-thermic effect of food
Explanation:
The thermic effect of food is the energy needed for digestion, absorption, and removal of ingested nutrients. Its magnitude relies on the components of the food consumed: Carbohydrates has 5 to 15% of the energy ingested while Protein 20 to 35% of the energy ingested.
