Question

Nadine kept track of her activities for the same three days, using an activity tracking app on her smartphone. She calculated her average energy need (energy expenditure) and it was 1800 calories. Compare Nadine’s average daily intake (avg. of 3139 calories per day) to her average energy need. Is it likely that Nadine will lose weight, gain weight, or stay the same if she continues with her current eating & exercise habits?

Answer 1

She is most likely going to gain weight, here’s why. 3139 - 1,800= 1,339
That’s only a couple hundred under what she’s actually consuming through energy. The rest has no use, there for causing weight gain.

Answer 2

Nadine will likely gain weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

She consumes 3139 calories PER DAY and her energy expenditure is only 1800 calories per 3 days.
