5. As a team you should reflect on the consequences of eating too little
or too much calories on overall health and offer a final conclusion to

There are many consequences of eating too little or too much
calories on overall health. The body needs calories that are
nutrients to stay healthy and keep the muscles working and
the bones strong. The consequences of eating to little calories
are stomach ache, body processes failures, fatigue, bon
