NEAT stands for Non-Exercising Activity Thermogenesis and is essentially all the energy we burn doing activities that aren?t sleeping, eating or exercise. These include things such as cleaning the house, fidgeting, walking upstairs, changing posture, standing etc. It?s pretty clear that NEAT accounts for majority of our daily tasks, so it represents a very important factor that we can modify to assist with weight loss, increasing energy expenditure and overall staying active.
