A person’s body weight is dependent on how much energy he takes in, in the form of food and the total energy he spends in his day-to-day routines. Since energy comes from calories, your weight remains the same if your total amount of calorie intake is the same as what you burn through your activities.

Consequently, if you are putting on the pounds slowly, it can be said that your calorie intake is much greater than what you can burn throughout the day.

The calories we burn every day depend on our BMR or basal metabolic rate and the extent of our physical routines.
