All foods contain stored energy
or fuel. As food nutrients are absorbed in the
body, this stored energy is released and used by
the body for heat (work or play). How much food
energy the body needs depends mainly upon two
things:
1. The size of the body.
2. How active the body is.
Minor factors such as clothing, climate, season
and even housing affect body energy needs to a
lesser degree.
A calorie is a unit of measure of the energy
value of foods, commonly referred to as caloric
values. When we eat more calories than our body
needs, the extra unused calories are stored as
fat. Surplus fact can build up into a serious
overweight condition which in turn can lead to
other more serious ailments. Then we need to
know sometimes about caloric values of our most
commonly consumed foods. The list appearing here
may be helpful to you in controlling your diet. |
