NEAT (Non-exercise Activity Thermogenesis) is the energy expended for all activities other than exercise or sleeping, including fidgeting, tapping, and shifting positions. Therefore, the energy Barry uses for his involuntary movements is classified as NEAT. Basal metabolism refers to the energy expended for basic life-sustaining activities like breathing, heartbeat, etc. Resting metabolism refers to the energy expended for bodily functions while at rest. Thermic effect of food refers to the energy expended for digestion, absorption, and transport of food. None of these accurately describe the energy used for Barry's involuntary movements.
