The concept of heat:

1. Heat: The human body consumes energy every moment, and this energy is provided by the thermogenic nutrients in food. Nutrients in food that produce calories include protein, fat, sugar and carbohydrates. They are oxidized to produce heat for the body to maintain life, growth, development and movement. When the supply of heat energy is excessive, the excess calories will be stored as fat. Over time, the body will gain weight.

2. The unit of heat: In nutrition, "kilocalories" is used as the unit of heat. 1 kcal is the amount of heat required for 1L of water to rise from 15°C to 1 degree.

There are three main ways of calorie consumption. The first part is the basal metabolic rate, which accounts for about 65~ of the total calorie consumption of the human body. 70. The second part is physical activity, which accounts for about 15 to 30% of the total calorie consumption. The third part is the thermic effect of food, which accounts for at least about 10%. The proportions of these three have been roughly fixed.

The unit of calories: kilocalorie, 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

The nutrients that can provide calories in the diet are sugars (carbohydrates), fats, proteins, alcohol, and organic acids wait. The calories they contain, measured per gram, are: sugar (carbohydrate) 4 kcal, fat 9 kcal, protein 4 kcal, alcohol 7 kcal, and organic acid 2.4 kcal.

To calculate the calories contained in food or diet, you must first know the weight of the caloric nutrients, and then use the following formula to calculate:

Calories (kcal) = grams of sugar × 4 protein Grams × 4 Grams of fat × 9 Grams of alcohol × 7
