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 Diet. See more contextual defintions for Calorie.

- Low Calorie Snacks That Help You Stick To Your Diet: There is a great side effect to diet pills: they will often curb your appetite. And having a suppressed appetite when trying to stick to a strict 1,200 calorie diet can e a life saver. After all, you are only allowed 400 calories per meal. But what do you do on Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 PM when you are sitting at your desk working on a project for the boss and your blood sugar is on a free fall? The problem with many diets are the dietary restrictions and people?s ability to stay within the allotted number of daily calories. When you are trying to stay between 300 and 500 calories per meal the quality of your food becomes more important than the quantity. Foods high in protein will help satisfy for a longer period of time than those full of sugar and carbohydrates. Become aware of the protein content of the food you are consuming.
