    eating the same as what you burn, staying the same weight.

    ex.

    Jack burns 2500 calories with no exercise (BMR - basal metabolic rate)

    Jack burns 1000 calories running

    Jack burns 3500 calories today. (DEE - Daily Energy Expenditure)

    Jack eats 3500 calories.

    Jack does not gain or lose weight.
