Weight change

Weight change occurs when the balance between calories consumed through food and drinks and calories burned through activity and bodily functions shifts. If you eat more than your body needs, the excess energy is stored as fat, leading to weight gain. Conversely, if you consume fewer calories than you burn, your body uses stored fat for energy, resulting in weight loss. Factors such as metabolism, activity level, and diet composition influence this balance. Maintaining a healthy weight involves managing this balance through proper nutrition and regular physical activity.
