Energy balance means that
you and your family need to balance ENERGY IN with ENERGY OUT. The
calories we eat and drink (ENERGY IN) provide fuel for our bodies
to use for every day activities and physical activities (ENERGY
OUT). The goal is to stay in energy balance.
Whether the goal for you and
your family is to maintain a healthy weight, or to lose weight, it
is important to keep energy balance in mind.
Health experts recommend
that you think of ways to rev up the ENERGY OUT in two important
ways: things you can do together as a family that are fun
and physically active, and things each of you can do in your
everyday routines to increase
your level of physical activity.
