Metabolism: Total vs. Rate

  • Metabolic rate isn't about speed; it's total cellular processes.
  • "Faster metabolism" means higher total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), not a higher rate.
INSIGHT

Four Components of Metabolism

  • TDEE has four components: Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT), Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT), the Thermal Effect of Food (TEF), and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).
  • Optimize all four for the most effective results.
INSIGHT

The Car Analogy

  • "Speeding up" metabolism is increasing how much you use it, not its speed.
  • It's like driving the same speed but for longer distances, thus burning more fuel overall.
