It results in excess body fat and eventually obesity.
Weight is determined by the balance between energy intake and energy expenditure. When energy intake exceeds expenditure, the excess energy is stored as fat, leading to weight gain. On the other hand, if energy expenditure exceeds intake, the body uses stored energy reserves, resulting in weight loss. Maintaining a balance between energy intake and expenditure is crucial for weight management.
Positive energy balance is when energy intake exceeds expenditure weight is gained
This statement is incorrect. When energy balance in the body is positive (caloric intake exceeds caloric expenditure), body mass increases. To decrease body mass, energy balance must be negative (caloric intake is less than caloric expenditure).
