Counting Calorie in Food
What is calorie? A Calorie ( aka a kilocalorie) is a
unit used to measure the energy potential in food and the energy used by the
body. In scientific term, it is known as the amount of heat required to raise a
temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. All food we eat provides energy that is measurable in calories.
For example, cabbage has 33 kcal, while raw cod fillets
has 80 kcal.
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.
