That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The initials TEF stand for Thermic Effect of Food. This term refers to the energy expenditure that occurs during the process of digesting, absorbing, and metabolizing food. When we eat, our body uses energy to break down the food and convert it into usable forms. This energy expenditure is known as the thermic effect of food, and it contributes to the total energy expenditure of an individual.
