Sandra ate about 2,000 calories yesterday. She was not feeling well, so she laid around and watched TV all day and burned 1,200 calories. If Sandra did this all week, she would __________.

A.lose weight because she is in a state of energy balanceB.maintain her weight because she is in a state of energy balanceC.lose weight because she is not in a state of energy balanceD.gain weight because she is not in a state of energy balance

She'd probably gain weight (D). She's not in a state of energy balance because she's eating 800 more calories than she burns. So A and B are wrong. You generally don't lose weight when you're 800 calories over, so D is the correct answer.

Here, if You'll notice, Energy intake is 2000 Calorie, and output is just 1200 Calories which is less than intake, so she will gain weight, as she is not in a state of energy balance

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
