Energy Expenditure Stabilization

Meaning

Energy Expenditure Stabilization is the clinical and physiological goal of establishing a consistent, predictable, and metabolically efficient rate of total daily caloric output, minimizing wasteful energy fluctuations and maximizing the proportional use of fat stores for fuel. This state is achieved when the resting metabolic rate, thermic effect of food, and activity-related energy expenditure are optimally balanced and regulated by key metabolic hormones. Achieving stabilization is fundamental for sustainable body composition management and overall metabolic health, preventing the common metabolic drift associated with chronic dieting or age.
