Question

if gregory consumes more calories than he uses in a day, he will ________. a. gain muscle b. lose muscle c. gain weight d. lose weight please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

When calorie intake exceeds calorie expenditure, the body stores the excess energy. This storage typically leads to weight gain as the body converts the extra calories into fat (in most cases, unless there is a specific muscle - building regimen with proper exercise). Gaining muscle (a) requires specific strength - training exercises along with a balanced diet (not just excess calories in general). Losing muscle (b) usually occurs with calorie deficits and/or lack of use. Losing weight (d) is the opposite of the situation described (calorie deficit is needed for weight loss).

Answer:

C. gain weight
