Calroie is an energy unit, which is still widely used in nutrition measurement and fitness manual. The international standard unit of energy is joule. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of calories:

Calorie, also known as capital letter C, is most commonly used in food labels, which is equivalent to the energy required to raise 1 kg of water at standard atmospheric pressure and 15 degrees Celsius. 1 calorie = 4. 185 joules.

Small card, also known as cal, is common in scientific research literature, 1000 small card = 1 big card.

Calories and basal metabolic consumption

Generally speaking, adults need at least 65,438+0,500 calories a day to maintain their body function, because even if you lie still, your body still needs to be able to maintain body temperature, cardiopulmonary function and brain operation. Basal metabolic consumption varies with individual height, weight, age and gender.

Calories and weight loss

Controlling calorie intake and proper exercise are very effective ways to lose weight, and are also regarded as the healthiest way to lose weight by most doctors. This mechanism is very simple. When the daily energy intake is not enough to provide the energy consumed by the body, the body will call the sugar and fat stored in it. When fat is broken down and provides energy for the body, the process of losing weight begins. It should be noted that some doctors pointed out that the control of calorie intake should be gradual, so as to ensure that the human body can adapt for a long time. At the same time, the daily intake of calories is generally not less than 800 calories. Otherwise, the human body will make up for the lack of energy intake by reducing the body function, which usually leads to dizziness and fatigue, and the reduction of basal metabolic consumption will also affect the efficiency of weight loss.
