7. CHANGE in ENERGY STORES = ENERGY IN – ENERGY OUT  Amount of excess energy stored by our body represents the difference between the amount taken in and the amount expended  Consume more than expend = weight gain  Expend more than consume = weight loss

8.  Energy in foods and beverages is the only contributor to the “energy in” side of the energy balance equation  Need to become familiar with the amounts of energy in foods and beverages  Recommendations for energy intake vary from individual to individual

9.  No easy method exists for determining the energy an individual spends and therefore needs  One way to estimate energy needs is to monitor your food intake and body weight over a period of time (activities during this time are typical)
