Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The number of calories that you can eat each day without gaining weight depends on your:
A
activity level
B
hunger
C
environment
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your recommended calorie intake depends on various factors, like age and activity level. Most women need 1, 600–2, 400 daily calories to maintain their weight. Most men need 2, 000–3, 000 calories. Eating fewer can lead to weight loss.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a guide, consuming 300–500 calories more than the body burns on a daily basis is usually sufficient for steady weight gain. For more rapid weight gain, a person may need to consume up to 1, 000 calories more per day. Many people inaccurately estimate the number of calories they consume each day.

Detailed explanation-3: -The number of calories you should eat or drink a day depends on several things-your age, sex, height, weight and physical activity. In general, men require more calories than women, and because metabolism slows as people age, older adults generally need fewer calories than younger people.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adding 500 calories a day helps to gain 250-500 gm per week or 1lb, a standard way to gain weight. If you want fast weight gain then adding 700-1000 calories per day will help to increase 1kg per week if combined with exercise. Based on this set your expectations and goal.
