2-5. MANAGING MY ENERGY BALANCE

To manage my energy balance, I have to watch my energy intake and expenditure. You lose
weight when you absorb fewer calories than your requirements. (That is to say, less than your
total metabolism and your daily calorie expenditures.) You gain fat if you absorb more calories
than required. Therefore no food is really fattening or slimming, it is simply a matter of striking
a balance.
You can therefore act on two factors in order to tip the scales one way or the other:
- Act on expenditure through exercise
- Act on calorie intake
According to the Center for disease control and prevention, physical activities can increase the
number of calories your body uses for energy or «burns off». The burning of calories through
physical activity, combined with reducing the number of calories you eat, creates a «calorie defi-
cit» that can help with weight loss. (https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/calories/)
Exercising acts in synergy with monitoring calories intake and a balance diet in the long term.
However, it is much easier to act on the caloric intake than on the expenditure throught exercise.
In addition to acting on the energy balance, exercise is also essential to a healthy lifestyle.
