Energy Balance in an Obese World: Science & Clinical Applications

The concept of "energy balance" is a critical concept for understanding and devising solutions to the obesity epidemic. Energy balance is usually defined by the simple equation, "energy in = energy out." However, research suggests that energy balance is not so simple. Instead, it is influenced by complex interactions and adjustments by the body in response to calories consumed, physical activity, individual biology, the environment and more. 

 

Please join obesity experts James O. Hill, PhD, and Keith-Thomas Ayoob, EdD, RD, FADA, for a real-world look at energy balance and obesity, as well as strategies to use with your overweight patients and clients.

 

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

  • Define the concept of energy balance
  • Understand how the components of energy balance are interrelated
  • Contrast approaches to treating vs. preventing obesity
  • Describe how an understanding of energy balance can help us develop strategies to reduce obesity.
