Sustained Energy Equilibrium

Meaning

Sustained energy equilibrium is a state of metabolic balance where the energy derived from food intake precisely matches the total energy expenditure over a prolonged period, resulting in a stable body weight and composition. Critically, this equilibrium is achieved without relying on extreme caloric restriction or unsustainable dietary practices, allowing for consistent high-level physical and cognitive function. It represents a metabolically flexible state where the body efficiently switches between fuel sources.
