• The body uses energy to eat, digest and metabolize food, and to burn kilojoules during physical activity, but it also needs a large amount of energy to exist in a state of complete rest.
• Energy expenditure rises above resting energy expenditure when physical activity is performed. For men of reference body size, the average allowance is 2,900 kcal/day; for women, it is 2,200 kcal.
• People have different metabolisms that burn energy at different rates, and some people have more active lifestyles than others.
• As age increases the consumption of energy increases. in the older age, the consumption of energy decreases due to less physical activity.
