In this short video, Eric Roberts breaks down the four components that make up a person’s daily calorie expenditure: 5% from intentional workouts, 10% from the thermic effect of food (especially protein), 15% from non‑exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) such as walking, fidgeting, and standing, and 70% from resting metabolic rate (RMR). For each component he offers a concrete tip to boost its contribution—add more protein to raise digestion calories, use a standing desk and aim for at least 6,000 steps a day to increase NEAT, and build more muscle and get more sleep to raise RMR. He ends with a call‑to‑action directing viewers to a link in his bio for a personalized daily calorie target.

This is how your body burns calories in a day. 5% comes from your workout. And yes, it's only 5%. 10% comes from digesting the food that you eat. If you want to increase this number, eat more protein because it burns the most calories to digest. 15% comes from all the movement in your day that isn't a dedicated workout. Walking, fidgeting, standing up. If you want to increase this number, I recommend getting a standing desk and to make sure you walk at least 6,000 steps per day. And 70% comes from how many calories your body burns at rest to keep you alive. If you want to increase this, build more muscle because muscle requires more calories to maintain it and Get more sleep because more sleep will increase the calorie burn of everything listed here.
