I am confused about calorie counting. How do you determine how many calories is in something you’re eating?
First off, how many calories should I be consuming?
I’m 5″7, 156 pounds, and am trying to lose up to 15 pounds within an 8 week time frame.
Second,
how do I determine how many calories are in something as I’m preparing to eat it? I’m very confused about the entire “calorie” thing. I don’t even understand what exactly a calorie is.
Help? Any input is appreciated.
Hello there, sorry “squeakyanimal” (the answer on top), a calory in fact is the amount of energy needed to heat 1g of water in 1 degree Celsius…For example, to raise 1 gram of water from 29ºC to 30ºC…Yet, what we use as “calory” is in fact KiloCalory, which means Kilo (1000 in greek) times one calory, therefore what we refer to as “calory” accounts for 1000 calories actually. A healthy diet for women is one of about 1500 “calories” as we call them – see above.
