Which of the following is the largest component of total energy expenditure (TEE)? A. RMR B. Thermic effect of digestion C. Physical Activity D. Metabolic Stress CORRECT ANSWER *A. RMR* The thermogenic effect of digestion is generally thought to contribute to no more than 10% to TEE. Activity contributes to 5% - 30% to TEE. With the exceptions of burn and sepsis, metabolic stress contributes to less than 50% TEE. However, in almost all situations, RMR constitutes 60% to 75% of TEE. Whi...
