Counting Calorie in Food

Everyone talks about calorie in food, but do you really know what is actually a calorie.  All food we eat provides energy that is measurable in calories. A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1degree centigrade.

 

Counting calorie in food is important to weight loss as all excess food we eat is either use or store as body fats.  The more excess calorie in food we consume the more weight we gain.

 

Over a period of time be it a day, a week, a month or a year if we eat excess food we will put on weight.  Every extra 3,500 calories we eat will result in an addition of 1 pound or 1/2 kilo of body weight.
