CALORIES
• Units used to measure energy
***how much energy in a food can be
used by the body OR stored in body fat***
3,500 calories = 1 lb. lost or gained
To maintain body weight, a person needs to take in 10
calories per pound of body weight.
ENERGY BALANCE
• Energy in – Energy out = Change in fat
________________________________________________________
Food energy taken in (calories) minus
Energy spent by the body (calories) equals
Change in fat stores (calories)
4,000 – 3,000 = 1,000 (Fat stored)
2,500 – 3,500 = -1,500 (Fat burned)
FAT CELLS ARE NEVER LOST, THEY ONLY SHRINK IN SIZE!!!!!!
