What Is a Calorie ?
- 1g of protein or carbohydrate (= "sugars") = 4kcal
First, no food makes you fat: this is the case only if we consume too frequently and inadequate amounts for his body and expenditures.
Second, the calorie does not mean much when it comes to comparing two foods or two dishes. The only thing we can say is that one is bringing more energy than the other. That's it.
However, to compare two foods must stop on the nutritional composition per 100g of product (noted on all food labels). So at this point, when comparing macro-nutrients, we can say that one is fat or sweeter or more protein than the other and it is indirectly heat or not.
Yogurt 1 = about 50 kcal
- 1 apple = 50kcal
- 1cc slightly domed butter = 50kcal
- 1cc of oil = 50kcal
All these foods do not yet provide the same. Yogurt: a little fat, proteins and carbohydrates, the apple mainly carbohydrates and butter or oil: lipids.
It is therefore advisable to read the labels of foods you eat (not just for the splats prepared) to get a better idea of the type of energy you consume mostly (too fat, too sweet, too protein or not enough) .
I'll repeat myself again but to be sure of what to make much macro-nutrient, it is important to eat a food from each group at each meal if you can. Diversity is the key, I do had not already said ... well I do it again.
A calorie is a unit of energy, defined as the quantity of heat (or energy) required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 ° C (14.5 ° to 15.5 ° C C) at normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm or 101.325 kPa). With this, you are not advanced ?
Dietetic it defines the energy value of macro-nutrients such as lipids, carbohydrates or proteins and indirectly the amount of energy we need for daily work.
- 1g fat (fat =) = 9 kcal
- 1g of protein or carbohydrate (= "sugars") = 4kcal
To simplify calorie is our "essence" and nutrients types of species.
When we consume a food or dish, it brings us energy for our body to function. Proteins to make our muscles and cells, lipids to produce our hormones, our repair cell membranes and as "secondary fuel" carbohydrates as "primary fuel".
Today we inundates this term: "a woman needs 1800 kcal per day," "the diet 1200 kcal", "calories without pounds" ... So this term is returned in the language, but no one uses it properly. I have many patients who come and say: "it's only X kcal so it does not grow." Unfortunately, this does not mean much.
