Overfat individuals often have an increased thermic response to eating.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overfat individuals typically have a reduced or similar thermic effect of food compared to lean individuals, not an increased thermic response. The thermic effect of food refers to the increase in metabolic rate after ingestion of a meal, and variations in this effect are more related to the composition of the meal and total caloric intake rather than the individual's body fat percentage.
