CALORIE - WHAT ARE CALORIES?

 

Calories reside in almost 100% of the foods that we eat. Even evil-tasting rice cakes contain calories - but you sure wouldn't think they would. Anything that tastes like cardboard shouldn't contain calories, but yes they do indeedy.

Calories is simply another fancy word for 'energy'. The body needs the calories in the foods we eat to use as energy. Without calories, we wouldn't feel like going out and having fun at the mall on those days when we call in sick to work.
