Understanding Your Body's Energy Bank
_______________________________________
π Understanding Calories: Think of calories as money. The calories you eat are like depositing money into your bank account. The more you deposit, the fuller your account gets unless you spend it.
π How We 'Spend' Calories: Every day, your body spends calories just like you spend money. Whether youβre walking, working out, or even just sitting and breathing, youβre constantly 'paying' calories to keep your body running.
π What's Metabolism? Metabolism is like your body's daily budget of how many calories (or energy) it needs to handle all your basic living tasks, from breathing to blinking.
β
Breaking Down Metabolism:
π Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):
Think of BMR as the minimum amount of money you need to cover all basic expenses in a day if you did nothing but relax on the sofa.
PS. Tomorrow I'll be giving you the exact sheet I use to calculate all these numbers. So follow me to get notified.
π Thermic Effect of Food (TEF):
Every time you eat, your body needs to 'spend' calories to break down the food and turn it into energy. Protein makes your body work hardest, so you 'spend' more calories to process proteins than fats or carbs.
π Physical Activity:
This includes all the extra activities you do, like walking, exercising, and even small actions like typing. NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) is all about the calories you burn through these day-to-day activities, not including formal exercise.
π Why It Matters: Understanding how your metabolism works helps you manage your 'budget' better.
Knowing how much you 'spend' daily helps in planning how much to 'deposit' with food without going overboard. Itβs essential for effectively losing fat, gaining muscle, or both!
Takeaway Tip: Tracking how your body spends calories can help you manage your weight better. Just like a budget helps you manage your money, understanding your metabolism helps you manage your bodyβs energy.
