Energy consumption is the amount of
energy or
power used.
Biology
In the body, energy consumption is part of
energy homeostasis. It derived from
food energy. Energy consumption in the body is a product of the
basal metabolic rate and the
physical activity level. The physical activity level are defined for a non-
pregnant, non-
lactating adult as that person's total energy expenditure (TEE) in a 24-hour period, divided by his or her
basal metabolic rate (BMR):
