The Role of Energy Balance in Weight Management

Calories are how our body measures energy while energy balance is the relationship between calories consumed through foods and beverages and calories used through normal body functions and physical activity. Maintaining, losing, or gaining weight largely depends on whether you’re in energy balance, a caloric surplus, or a caloric deficit – while considering other factors that may influence weight management. Understanding and managing energy balance is key to supporting weight management goals.
