What Is A Calorie?

Health And Fitness : Dieting Tips

OK, so with everyone talking about calories do you ever stop to think what one is?

It's an arbitrary measure of energy that we have created. Specifically it measures how much energy is released when a certain amount of a food stuff is burned.

The amount of energy that is provided to the body when the foodstuff is burnt is turned into a calorific rating. The more energy a food gives you, the higher the calorie rating.
