When Do Calorie Needs Increase? Exercise, Growth, Pregnancy, Illness & Stress
Energy requirements rise in these states:
- Physical activity – intensity/duration dependent.
- Growth – children, adolescents.
- Pregnancy & lactation – +300–500 kcal/day (pregnancy), +450–500 kcal/day (lactation).
- Recovery from illness/injury – hypermetabolic state.
- Chronic stress – cortisol-driven catabolism; may also increase intake via emotional eating.
Individualized nutrition plans should match expenditure and support health goals.
