Calories In - Calories Out

Calories In = Food and beverages
Calories Out = Body functions and physical activity

If you are maintaining your weight your caloric balance status is "in balance." You are eating roughly the same number of calories that your body is using. Your weight will remain the stable.

If you are gaining weight your caloric balance status is "in caloric excess." You are eating more calories than your body is using. You will store these extra calories as fat and you'll gain weight.

If you are losing weight your caloric balance status is "in caloric deficit." You are eating fewer calories than you are using. Your body is pulling from its fat storage cells for energy, so your weight is decreasing.
