WEIGHT GAIN = energy consumed is greater than
energy expended
= more food intake but less physical
exertion
WEIGHT LOSS = energy consumed is less than
energy expended
= more physical exertion but less food intake

WEIGHT MAINTENANCE = energy consumed equals

energy expended
= physical exertion is the same with food intake.

you should give importance to both physical activity
and nutrition.

That is why you should take note of the calories you

need to burn and the physical activities you can
participate in to burn these calories.
