I'll be honest...I am obsessed with calories.
I eat low calorie food & sometimes I eat more of a low calorie food while I could've just had a high calorie food but smaller portion!
Calories are not all the same. A 100 calorie apple is not the same as 100 calories of fried potato chips.
It is also important to know that your body NEEDS calories! It also NEEDS fat, sugar (yes it needs sugar), cholesterol, sodium, etc. Just more of some than others.
Also, each person needs a different amount of calories!! Due to: body size, muscle mass, height, metabolism, activity level, type of food eaten, climate, etc.
The definition of a calorie is “the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C”.
Most people need around 2000 calories a day
3500 calories equals one pound of body fat
Fat has 9 calories per gram
Protein & Carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram
healthy body :)http://www.google.ca/imgres?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1C1LENN_enCA491CA491&biw=1517&bih=680&tbm=isch&tbnid=3uNejwk0kIUY3M:&imgrefurl=http://color-me-healthy.tumblr.com/post/25594367249/curvy-and-beautiful-and-healthy&docid=lWzw7sNqQ7fkXM&imgurl=http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5zhitGx4A1ruh8x7o1_500.jpg&w=494&h=658&ei=NjJNUL66E-SJywGbzoH4CQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=4&sig=114046538348975316278&page=2&tbnh=160&tbnw=121&start=24&ndsp=31&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:24,i:150&tx=90&ty=95
