energy balance

the relationship between your caloric input and your caloric expenditure.

the equation for energy balance

positive energy balance

energy intake is greater than your energy output

equation for positive energy balance

Energy input > Energy output = weight gain

negative energy balance

occurs when you burn more calories then you consume

equation for negative energy balance

energy input > Energy = weight loss
