Eating healthy and getting enough exercise helps maintain balance between energy intake and energy demand. Energy intake is the amount of energy you get from food, while energy demand is the energy you expend through physical activities. It's important to make sure your energy intake is equal to or slightly higher than your energy demand.

The human body needs about 10-12% of its energy intake from protein to meet its energy demands. The energy balance is not the same for everyone. It varies from person to person depending on their activity levels, body composition, and metabolic rate. When energy intake and energy demand are balanced, the body can build and repair tissues, store energy, and regulate its temperature.
