Best Answer

Energy expenditure comes from day-to-day activities as well as your body keeping an internal temperature of about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideally, you will consume and expend and equal amount of energy. However, if you consume more than you need, your body will have too much energy, storing it as glycogen or fat. More energy must be expended than consumed in order to deplete these energy reserves.
