Hi all,

I have seen, read and heard so many definitions. Quite frankly, Im confused now. Can someone please clarify?

Thanks.

    This would be eating the total amount of calories your body burns on a daily basis, which allows you to maintain your current weight. If your body was burning 2000 calories a day, eating 2000 calories would maintain. You would neither lose nor gain weight.

    it means neither overeating, or eating at a calorie deficit.
    Just eating what you need to keep at a steady weight
