NEAT Thermogenesis
NEAT thermogenesis is calorie burn from daily movement outside workouts—standing, walking, chores. It often shifts more than gym calories during diets or desk-heavy weeks.
NEAT thermogenesis is non-exercise activity thermogenesis—the calories burned by fidgeting, standing, walking meetings, chores, and daily movement outside formal workouts. It often swings more than exercise calories when people diet or sit excessively.
Desk jobs can drop NEAT hundreds of calories per day without you noticing.
Common questions
-
How do you increase NEAT without more gym time?
Add walking calls, stairs, standing breaks, and errands on foot. Track weekly steps—small hourly movement beats one long walk after twelve hours of sitting.
