In order to effectively manage your weight and diet, it is important that you track the foods that you consume. Tracking calories consumed is an effective way to achieve this.
Calories are a measure of energy and are normally used to measure the energy content of foods and beverages. In technical terms, a calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Your body uses the calories that you consume for essential functions like breathing, circulation and thinking and also for daily activities like walking, talking and eating. The excess calories you consume are stored by the body as fat and continually eating more than you burn will cause you to gain weight over time.
Your calorie consumption strategy will vary according to your goals. If your goal is weight loss, you need to consume lesser calories than you burn. If weight gain is what you are looking for, you need to consume more calories than you burn.
Of course, you also need to pay attention to the quality of calories consumed as this will greatly affect your overall health.
