Detailed explanation-1: -Metabolic rate and calorie requirements vary from person to person depending on factors such as genetics, gender, age, body composition and amount of exercise you do. Health status and certain medical conditions may also influence metabolism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolism: Everyone has a minimum number of calories needed to maintain vital functions. This is your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Certain medical conditions, medications, and your gender can affect your BMR. Genetic blueprint: If you have a metabolic disease (e.g., hypothyroidism), factor it in.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, if you eat and drink more calories (energy “intake") than your body expends (energy “output") you will gain weight. On the other hand, if you eat and drink fewer calories than are burned through everyday activities (including exercise, rest and sleep), you’ll lose weight.
