Do you think that posting calories on restaurants is a good idea why or why not? EXPLAIN?
Yes because then you would know if it is a bad idea or good idea and you would also know how many calories you are investing and how many calories you need to work off.
How should the number of calories you consume compare the calories you burn? What happens if they don't match?
- Maintaining weight — Your weight will stay the same when the calories you eat and drink equal the calories you burn.
- Losing weight — You will lose weight when the calories you eat and drink are less than the calories you burn.
- Gaining weight — You will gain weight when the calories you eat and drink are greater than the calories you burn.
