NEAT Variability
NEAT variability is daily swings in non-exercise movement that change energy burn—track weekly averages alongside structured training.
NEAT variability is day-to-day swings in non-exercise activity thermogenesis—steps, fidgeting, standing, chores—that explain why identical diets produce different weight outcomes. Desk jobs crush NEAT; active errands raise it without formal workouts.
Track weekly averages, not single days.
Common questions
-
