Schematic showing the energy balance characteristics of a population undergoing weight gain over a period of years. The energy imbalance gap is defined as the small average daily imbalance between total energy intake (TEI) and total energy expenditure (TEE), whereas the energy flux gap, which is the higher TEI and TEE (energy flux) associated with the higher weight, is relatively large.
