What are consumed calories (kcal.)?

Answer 1

The dietary calorie is different from the calorie used in chemistry or physics labs. There it's the amount of heat (energy) needed to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius from 4 degrees Celsius.

The dietary calorie is the kilocalorie, which is a thousand times that, or the amount of energy that will raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius.

It takes 3500 of these calories to equal one pound of weight on you, so if you eat 500 calories a day more than you burn, you will gain one pound a week. If you burn 3500 more than you eat each day, you will lose one pound a week.

You can find charts listing the calories in food very easily on the 'Net, but watch out for the serving sizes. They are almost always much smaller than we'd like them to be, which means that we almost always eat more than we think we do.

Good luck.
