A study of healthy volunteers found that overeating caused a variable increase in basal metabolic rate, ranging from 1% to 18%. This finding sparks a common question in the fitness community: can overeating boost metabolism, and is a 'cheat meal' an effective strategy for weight management?

Accounting for approximately 10% of total daily energy expenditure, diet induced energy expenditure is the physiological process that describes the increase in metabolic rate after eating. This process, also known as the thermic effect of food (TEF), is crucial for understanding how our bodies utilize and process the nutrients we consume.
