Energy In:

-Calories Absorbed
Influenced by macronutrient intake, food prep, age, gut microbiome, health status
-Psychological Factors
Influenced by stress levels, mindset, perceived control, self-esteem, sleep quality
Energy Out:
-Energy Burned at Rest
Influenced by body size, hormonal status, dieting history, genetics, health, sleep, age
-Energy Burned Through Exercise
Influenced by exercise intensity, duration, type, environment, hormonal and sleep status
-Energy Burned by Non-Exercise Activity
Influenced by energy status, stress levels, occupation, leisure activities, genetic factors…
-Energy from Metabolizing Foods
