The new section on energy equilibrium of EUFIC is an informative and easy to consult, at the same time, which makes it a valuable tool not only for health professionals but also for patients and consumers. ” to use the tools there are to follow three steps.The first provides information on energy, understanding of the expenditure and physical activity, with tips to reduce caloric intake. Then invites users personalize the information, creating a profile that includes height, weight and inches around the waist. In step three, calculators, and interactive tools help users better understand the relationship between consumption and spending energy.
