Deana and Molly have been best friends since childhood. They spend a lot of time together. They go shopping, sometimes travel together on weekends, and eat out once in a while. Recently, Molly started gaining weight and wondered why her friend, who eats the same dishes when they are out, still keeps her youthful figure. Both Deana and Molly are 35 years old. Deana is 5 ft, 4 in tall and weighs 126 lb, and Molly is 5 ft, 7 in tall and weighs 148 lb. Molly has to watch her diet not to gain any more weight. Deana's days are quite busy. She walks her two dogs in the morning and afternoon for almost an hour, goes to power yoga classes twice a week, walks to most of her errands, and plays tennis for two hours on Friday nights. Molly has a desk job and only goes to restorative yoga on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She does only light housework and rarely walks anywhere. Compare the EER for both women to see why Molly is having trouble with gaining weight, whereas Deana is not.
