HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -You gain weight when you eat more calories than you burn-or burn fewer calories than you eat. Some people seem to lose weight more quickly and more easily than others. But everyone loses weight by burning more calories than are eaten. The bottom line is calories count.

Detailed explanation-2: -Salty food, high carbohydrate intake, lack of exercise and some medications can cause water weight gain even on a caloric deficit (10).

Detailed explanation-3: -In fact, over half the calories you burn every day are expended on basic biological functions like maintaining your body temperature, breathing, and digesting your food. If you were to “exercise off” every calorie you ate, you’d end up with a serious deficit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, that’s a deficit of 1, 032 calories per day, which could put you on track to lose about two pounds per week, but not necessarily.
