Patient-Friendly Explanation

The energy gap is the small daily difference between the calories you eat and the calories your body burns. Even a tiny surplus adds up over time and causes slow, steady weight gain. Closing this gap is the foundation of lasting weight loss.

Clinical Definition

The energy gap describes a small persistent positive energy balance, often as little as 100-200 kcal per day, that accumulates over months to produce gradual weight gain. Reversing this gap through modest caloric reduction and increased physical activity underpins sustainable weight management.

Why It Matters

Understanding your personal energy gap explains why weight creeps on slowly and why small, consistent changes matter. NuLifeCare Singapore’s programme targets this gap with realistic adjustments rather than extreme dieting.
