In order to simplify your nutrition it's beneficial to understand some basic concepts surrounding calorie (energy) intake and energy balance.

First we have our RMR, or resting metabolic rate, this is the energy required for our body to perform daily maintenance.

Next factor is your TEF or Thermic effect of food, this is the amount of energy required for the body to digest and absorb the nutrition we consume
