Energy balance is the formal term for the calorie in vs. out equation. Simply put,
our body weight is controlled by the number of calories we take in and the number of calories we burn. We know the laws of thermodynamics are true for everything
in the universe including humans, and that states energy cannot be created or
destroyed so it must go somewhere. Either adding to body mass in the form of tissue, reducing mass, or staying the same.
