Weight Debate

Staying at a healthy weight is a balancing act for everyone. The secret is learning how to balance your “energy in” and “energy out” over the long run.

“Energy in” is all the calories from foods and beverages that you eat and drink everyday.
“Energy out” is all the calories that you burn for basic body functions and physical activities that you do everyday.

Maintaining Weight
Your weight will stay the same when the calories you eat and drink (“Energy in”) equal the calories that you burn (“Energy out”).

Losing Weight
You will lose weight when the calories you eat and drink (“Energy in”) are less than the calories that you burn (“Energy out”).

Gaining Weight
You will gain weight when the calories you eat and drink (“Energy in”) are greater than the calories that you burn (“Energy out”).
