Your roommate typically goes to the gym every day. She wears a fitness tracker that calculates not only the number of steps she takes each day but also estimates her calorie expenditure. She tracks everything she eats and makes sure that her calorie expenditure always exceeds her calorie intake. Sometimes, this means she goes back to the gym late in the evening after dinner to insure she has "burned off" every calorie she took in, even if she already completed her workout earlier in the day. Which is correct?
