B．to disturb the calmness of the body
C．to gain a greater profit than a loss
D．to make neither a profit nor a loss请帮忙给出正确答案和分析，谢谢！
参考答案
正确答案：D
解析：词汇释义题。本题需根据它所在的句意和上下文进行推断，文中第三段倒数第二句By the time you add three pounds of muscle，your body requires an extra 9，000 calories a month just to break even的大概意思是，增加三磅的肌肉就需要额外的9 000卡路里来弥补。break even这一惯用短语在词典里释义为“打成平手；得失相当；不盈不亏”。很明显D正确。
