A Short Primer
Food provides energy.
And that’s what Calories are all about, they are just a measurement of energy.
Your body needs energy every day, and this is provided from various sources of food which contain calories.

Equally valid is to say that today I burned 30 apples worth of energy.
Of course, we all probably know that a burger provides more energy than a carrot. More specifically, the burger tends to give more calories per unit mass.
Of course that’s just scratching the surface, so stay tuned for the rest of the series……
