Answer 1

When the intake calorie is more than the output calorie it is termed to be positive balance. Here the individual has less expenditure of calories than intake so Bronx is in positive energy balance.

If the positive energy balance is continued for a certain period of time the weight may increase.

When the output calorie is more than the intake it is termed to be negative energy balance and overtime can lead to weight loss.
