What Are Calories?What are calories? Calories are the units to measure energy. Our bodies require lots of energy because this energy is being used constantly. Every time we move, every time we eat, every time we breathe, every time we sleep, or anything our body does, it uses energy. The food we eat is loaded with that energy our bodies require and in comes in calories. Our bodies have energy stored in the form of fat. The body can function for so many days without food and use the energy stored within but if that energy is not replaced, the body dies! If you are on a diet and are exercising regularly, calorie counting is essential especially if you want to keep track of your calorie intake and calories burned. A calorie counter tool can help you estimate the amount of calories you burn while exercising. There are a lot of calorie counting tools out there and you can find one that's best for you by doing a Google search. Another aspect of keeping tract of your calories is learning the calorie content of the foods you eat especially on those foods that do not have labels like fruit and vegetables. Remember, calories = energy and they are essential in weight loss. Make sure you devise a plan with your Doctor before starting a diet or exercise program. It is important because your health depends on it. Return from what are calories to weight loss
