Sandra ate about 2,000 calories yesterday. She was not feeling well, so she laid around and watched TV all day and burned 1,200 calories. If Sandra did this all week, she would __________. A. lose weight because she is in a state of energy balance B. maintain her weight because she is in a state of energy balance C. lose weight because she is not in a state of energy balance D. gain weight because she is not in a state of energy balance Please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. gain weight

Explanation:

To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you are taking in. Therefore, she would be consuming 14,000 calories by the end of the week, assuming 7 days, but only burn 8,400 calories, thus she'll gain the weight, rather than lose it.

hope this helps !!
