Andy has been consuming a set number of calories and recently added an additional 100 calories in the form of a daily snack. Although he is not trying to lose weight, he has lost one pound per week over the last two months. He wants to increase his level of activity and exercise, and he wants to return to his weight from two months ago. Which strategy should he follow to prevent becoming underweight?
Increase his activity and exercise levels and add more calories to gradually gain weight
Increase his activity and exercise levels and eat the same number of calories to gradually gain weight
Increase his snacks to two or three per day until he reaches his target weight Increase his calories consumed and do less activity and exercise until he reaches his target weight
the correct answer to your question is going to be the first option. in order to increase your activity levels but also gain weight, Andy needs to consume more calories then he loses through exercise. if he does any of the other options he will get his weight back, but end up losing it again due to his frequent exercise. let me know if you have any further questions :)
