This relationship, which is defined by the laws of thermodynamics, dictates whether weight is lost, gained, or remains the same.
According to these laws, energy is never really created and it’s never really destroyed. Rather, energy is transferred between entities.
We convert potential energy that’s stored within our food (measured in Calories or kcals) into three major “destinations”: work, heat and storage.
As the image below shows, the average number of available calories per person in the US is increasing.  In general, there is more “energy in”.

  • Your work includes pictures and a video to help improve presentation of your work.
  • You have stated what energy balance is.

Pupil Action:
  • You need to check the success criteria again - you have missed a lot of the points.
  1. Calories: What are they? Where would you find the information on the food? What is the recommended daily intake? 
  2. Case study: If a person eats 2000 calories, what do they need to do to burn them off?
