Prompt: What is the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)?
The thermic effect of food, also known as diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) or specific dynamic action (SDA), refers to the increase in metabolic rate that occurs after eating. It represents the amount of energy required to digest, absorb, transport, and store the nutrients from food . TEF accounts for approximately 10% of the total daily energy expenditure in healthy adults eating a mixed diet . However, the actual TEF can vary depending on factors like age, meal timing, and the macronutrient composition of the meal .
TEF of Different Macronutrients
The thermic effect differs for each macronutrient:
• Protein: 20-35% of calories burned through processing
• Carbohydrates: 5-15% of calories burned through processing
• Fat: 0-5% of calories burned through processing
So protein has the highest thermic effect, followed by carbohydrates, while fat has the lowest. This means that for every 100 calories of protein consumed, 20-35 calories are used just to process it .
Dream Level: is increased each time when you "Go Deeper" into the dream. Each new level is harder to achieve and
takes more iterations than the one before.
Rare Deep Dream: is any dream which went deeper than level 6.
Deep Dream
You cannot go deeper into someone else's dream. You must create your own.
Deep Dream
Currently going deeper is available only for Deep Dreams.
