Calories are the calculation unit of energy conversion of food. Different foods have different calories. Generally, eating 500 kilocalories is equivalent to eating the following foods:

1, 500 calories ≈2 fried chicken legs.

2500 calories ≈ 1 bag of French fries.

3500 calories ≈2 croissants.

4500 calories ≈ a small plate of pasta.

5500 calories ≈430 grams of rice, about two and a half bowls of rice.

6500 calories ≈460 grams of pasta.

7500 calories ≈ 1 box of sushi.

8500 kcal ≈ 1 kg pork.

9500 calories ≈2 kilograms of oranges.

10500 calories ≈9 apples.

Some fried foods, staple foods, meat and high-sugar foods are relatively high in calories, while fruits and vegetables are less. Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you must eat more low-calorie foods such as fruits and vegetables, and control your calorie intake, and your weight will be reduced by more than half.

Calorie calculation

1, see table of nutrients.

There will be a nutrient list on the food package you eat every day. One of the energy terms will indicate 100 grams of food calories, usually in kilojoules. You can calculate the specific calories of food through this, for example, 1 kilojoule equals 0.2389 kilocalorie (kilocalorie). For example, if the calorie of a food is 1728 kj, then its calorie = 1728 kj.

Step 2 calculate food energy

Add up the energy generated by all energetic substances in food. For example, if a food contains 15g fat, 10g protein and 30g carbohydrate, then 1g fat generates 9 kilocalories, 1g protein generates 4 kilocalories, and 1g carbohydrate generates 4 kilocalories. The calculation method of energy contained in this food is 65438+.
