14 and 9, good luck.

No; 200 calories per day; 1,400 calories per week; she will lose weight

Explanation:

A calorie is a unit of energy that refers to the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of one (1) gram of water by one (1) degree Celsius (°C). In a state of balance, the number of calories obtained from food must be equal to the calories consumed by the body to be able to carry out all metabolic functions. In a diet, the number of calories consumed is different from the number of calories burned. In this case, Mallory is burning 200 extra calories per day, thereby she will lose 1400 calories per week, which will be obtained from her body tissues (usually adipose tissue).
