The body's total daily energy expenditure includes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total daily energy expenditure of the body includes three components: basal metabolic rate (energy required to keep the body functioning at rest), thermal effect of food (energy required to digest and absorb food), and effects of physical activity (energy expended during exercise or other physical activities). Height and weight (option B) may be used to calculate the basal metabolic rate, but they are not included in the total daily energy expenditure calculation. BMI (option C) is a measure of body composition and is not directly related to energy expenditure, while food intake and number of hours of sleep (option C) may indirectly affect the total energy expenditure, but they are not components of it. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
