Which person may need more energy than a less active person of the same age?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Person doing heavy physical work daily
Energy requirements are influenced by physical activity as well as age, body size, sex, and physiological condition. A person performing heavy physical work uses more energy for muscular activity and may therefore need greater energy intake than a similarly aged sedentary person. Need is not created simply by eating less or drinking water.
