These boundaries between plates is referred to as transform boundaries. As two plates slide past one another, in a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary, nor destroyed. The result of two massive plates pushing against one another is that massive amounts of energy build up.
Daily energy expenditure is composed of three major components: 1) resting metabolic rate (RMR); 2) the thermic effect of feeding (TEF); and 3) the thermic effect of activity (TEA).RMR constitutes 60 to 75% of daily energy expenditure and is the energy associated with the maintenance of major body functions.MR accounts for the largest portion of daily energy expenditure no matter whether youâre sedentary or very active â 80 to 56% respectively (Landsberg, et al., 2009). Energy expenditure from exercise/activity is thus small relative to the energy expenditure at rest.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) quantifies the number of calories you burn in a day. This measure is best estimated by scaling your Basal Metabolic Rate to your level of activity. TDEE is critical in tailoring your nutrition plan to desired fitness goals.
