About the Calories:
> Calories are the amount of energy released when the body breaks down food.
> Calories are a way of keeping track of the body’s energy budget
> If we consistently put more energy into our bodies than we burn the excess will gradually be stored as fat in our cells and we’ll gain weight
> If we burn off more energy than we replenish, we’ll lose weight.
