Generation

The energy balance equation describes how energy input, output, and storage relate in a system. For the human body, it states that the change in energy stores equals energy intake minus energy expenditure. **Key formula:** ΔEnergy Storage = Energy In - Energy Out When energy intake exceeds expenditure, the body stores excess energy (primarily as fat), leading to weight gain. Conversely, when expenditure exceeds intake, stored energy is mobilized, resulting in weight loss.
