Why may the body use stored fat during negative energy balance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because energy intake is less than expenditure
Negative energy balance means that energy intake is lower than the energy required or expended by the body. To supply the deficit, the body mobilizes stored fuels, first using available glycogen and then increasing use of stored fat, depending on circumstances. Continued deficit may reduce body weight, although the process should be nutritionally and medically appropriate.
