calorie balance

Calorie balance refers to the relationship between the calories you consume through food and drinks and the calories your body uses for energy. If you eat more calories than your body needs, the excess is stored as fat, leading to weight gain. If you consume fewer calories than your body requires, it uses stored fat for energy, resulting in weight loss. Maintaining a healthy weight involves balancing calorie intake with activity level, ensuring your body gets enough energy without excess or deficiency. This ongoing balance influences your overall health and body composition.
