Which of the following best describes energy balance? a. calorie intake is constant, but calorie output decreases b. calorie intake increases and exceeds calorie output c. calorie intake and calorie output both increase at the same rate d. calorie intake increases and calorie output decreases e. calorie intake equals calorie output

E. Calorie intake equals calorie output

Explanation:

according to the law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. thus every energy taken in must be accounted for.

We convert potential energy that’s stored within our food (measured in Calories or kcals) into three major “destinations”: work, heat and storage.
