Energy balance must be maintained in order to maintain
weight loss. Explain why someone who was formerly obese
may require more exercise to maintain energy balance than
someone who was not formerly obese.
A person requires eight fewer kilocalories a day for every
pound of body weight lost. Thus, when a person loses
10 pounds, his or her BMR decreases by 80 calories per day.
This means that to maintain a 10-pound weight loss, that
person must further reduce daily energy intake or increase
expenditure by 80 calories.
