Test The Thermal Effect of Food (TEF)

QUESTION 1: According to the text, what macronutrient is extremely easily incorporated and requires minuscule thermal stress?

Proteins require the greatest heat dissipation
Lipids are incorporated with extreme ease and require a minuscule thermal effort
Carbohydrates demand a moderate energy investment
Ultraprocessed foods reduce internal heat expenditure

The caloric effort required to process and assimilate the nutrients ingested will be sufficient
The rate at which calories are stored as fat tissue
The amount of fat incorporated with extreme ease
Protein portion that protects muscle tissue

High thermal effect during digestion
Lean proteins evaporate in large fractions
Increased structural strength in the food matrix
Original matrix is destroyed and calories cross the intestinal barrier with great efficiency
