Gaining or losing weight comes down to calories burned vs. calories consumed. Burn more calories than you take in, and you’ll lose weight. Burn less than you take in, and you’ll gain weight. Simple. Let’s study some aspects of weight change.
George weighed 160 lb when he started college. If he gains just 0.25 lb each month for 4 years of college, how much will he weigh? Suppose he doesn’t change his habits after graduation, and continues that modest-sounding weight gain for the next 10 years after college. How much will he weigh for his 10th college reunion?
