Energy expenditure is more determined by fat free mass than fat mass (FFM)?
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Energy expenditure is more determined by fat-free mass (FFM) than fat mass because FFM includes all the body's tissues and organs that require energy for their functioning. These tissues and organs have a higher metabolic rate compared to fat tissue, which means they burn more calories at rest. Therefore, individuals with higher FFM will have a higher resting metabolic rate and will expend more energy throughout the day, even when they are not engaged in physical activity. Fat mass, on the other hand, has a lower metabolic rate and contributes less to overall energy expenditure.
