The T.E.F. Method

Understand what moves the scale. Then stop guessing.

T.E.F. stands for Thermogenic Efficiency Formula. It puts baseline metabolism, daily movement, planned exercise, and food processing on the same page.

01

Basal Metabolic Rate

The energy your body uses to keep you alive. Muscle mass, body size, age, and health all influence this largest part of daily calorie use.

BMR
02

Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis

Walking, standing, chores, fidgeting, and every other movement outside formal exercise. This is the daily activity most plans overlook.

NEAT
03

Exercise Activity Thermogenesis

The energy used during planned training, running, classes, and sports. Exercise matters, but it is only one part of the full equation.

EAT
04

Thermic Effect of Food

The energy required to digest, absorb, and process food. Protein has the highest thermic effect, which is one reason it matters so much.

One weekly record

One record. No weekly reset.

The useful parts of the week stay together, so your next question starts with more than a blank chat box.
