Question

Amanda has lost some weight due to increased activity, and she wishes to gain some back. What should she do to facilitate weight gain?
A) Consume the same number of calories as she burns
B) Decrease her caloric intake so it is less than the calories she burns.
C) Eat foods from only one food group.
D) Increase her caloric intake so it is higher than the calories she burns.

Answer 1

The answer will have to be option B "decrease her caloric intake so it is less than the calories she burns." Calories is all from what you gain when you eat. All foods have calories. So if Amanda has lost some weight due to increased activity, and she wishes to gain some back, she would have to increase the number of calories that she intakes in order to gain it back.

Hope this helps!
