What happens if you don't have energy balance?

If you don't have energy balance, it can lead to weight gain or loss depending on whether you're consuming more or fewer calories than your body needs. A prolonged energy surplus can result in obesity and related health issues, while a deficit can cause malnutrition and muscle loss. Both scenariOS can negatively impact overall health, metabolism, and energy levels, potentially leading to chronic diseases. Maintaining energy balance is crucial for optimal body function and well-being.
