Protein has the highest thermic effect: your body burns more calories digesting proteins than carbs or fat.
If you eat a moderate protein diet your factor will be 0.10
(roughly 1g/lb of body weight), for a high protein diet your factor
will be 0.15 (roughly 1.5 g/lb of body weight) .
TEF = RMR x factor (0.10 or 0.15) E.g. TEF=359.99
