Calorie Defined

A calorie is a unit of heat energy used in determining nutritional values. When foodstuffs, the `fuel’ for the body are metabolized, they liberate varying amounts of energy as heat. This energy is expressed in calories, hence the term; `burning the calories’. Fat produces 9 calories per gram; alcohol turns out 7 calories per gram, whilst carbohydrates and proteins each provide 4 calories per gram. Technically speaking, 1 calorie is the measure of heat needed to warm 1kg (kilogram) of water by 1 degree Centigrade. (Also See Carbohydrates; Fats, and Proteins).

This definition is in context to Dieting. See more contextual defintions for Calorie.
