Calories

      Calories are simply a way to measure energy. Calories are not nutrients. Some food have more calories than others. The specific number depends on the amount of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the food—as well as the protein size. A person's caloric intake depends on their size and activity level. Some one who is sedentary and small can easily become obese by eating more than they should.
