Healthy weight individuals are now a minority of the US population and obesity has become a critical public health challenge. Energy balance refers to the integrated effects of diet and physical activity on body weight. An imbalance between intake and expenditure, with a net positive intake results in increased body weight. This session will examine the interaction of energy balance components, the subsequent impact and offer guidance to help individuals understand and achieve energy balance.
