Nadine kept track of her activities for the same three days, using an activity tracking app on her smartphone. She calculated her average energy need (energy expenditure) and it was 1800 calories. Compare Nadine’s average daily intake (avg. of 3139 calories per day) to her average energy need. Is it likely that Nadine will lose weight, gain weight, or stay the same if she continues with her current eating & exercise habits?
She is most likely going to gain weight, here’s why. 3139 - 1,800= 1,339 That’s only a couple hundred under what she’s actually consuming through energy. The rest has no use, there for causing weight gain.
