So, now that you’ve determined whether or not you are at a healthy weight, how many calories are right for you? For now, we want to assess how many calories you need. A calorie is a scientific way to measure energy. You need to know about how physically active you are currently to estimate how many calories you need daily. Later on in the book, we’ll discuss strategies for making small changes that will help you reach your healthy weight.
Regular physical activity is important for your overall health and fitness. Physical activity helps your body function, and it helps you control your body weight by burning up some of the calories you take in as food and beverages each day.
THE ENERGY BALANCE

- To maintain weight, calories in (food and beverages consumed) should equal calories out (metabolism + routine activity + physical activity).
- To lose weight, calories in should be less than calories out.
- To gain weight, calories in should be more than calories out.
Monitor weight: Over a few weeks, check your weight regularly, and adjust your calories in and out to stay on track with your goal.
