Energy is lost through Heat; which is used to obtain & digest food, excrete waste, and maintain body temperature.

Energy is lost through waste energy, or energy that is not required for the action or device. For example a hair dryer is needed for heat. It also gives out sound energy. This energy is wasted.

Energy can be lost in various ways, such as through heat transfer, friction, air resistance, and inefficient energy conversions. Whenever energy is transformed from one form to another, there is typically some energy lost in the process due to these factors.

The question is a little vague perhaps to make a very helpful answer. However, a very relevant example is to explain why if you push a cardboard box on a carpet why it doesn't just keep moving. The friction that is caused by the surface of the carpet and box cause the box to slow down and the energy that is lost (that you originally put into it by pushing it) is lost to heat that heats both the box and the carpet. Loss to heat is the most common form of energy loss.

Potential energy can not be lost, it is only transformed into kinetic energy. This is stated in the Law of Conservation of Energy.
