But, what is calories? Calories is a measure of energy. It is measured in two ways: the amount we consume from frood and the amount we expend through physical activity and exercise. Calories provide energy for :
*Maintaining essential life support functions (heart, brain, breathing and food digestion
*Completing day to day tasks.
*Providing fuel for exercise.
Where does the body store excess calorie? It will became fats, thus to much calories will result to fatness if not consumed with exercise or any physical activities.
Some calories will be stored as Subcataneous Fat.
This fat is what located in our skin, in short, this fats will make us big and bulky.
These fats are the ones which composed our "BILBIL"^_^
Some calories will also be stored as Visceral Fat.

This fats are the one who coats our inner organs and which causes illness.
High visceral fat level are linked to illnesses such as Dementia and Colorectal Cancer.
If we are on starting to lose weight, these visceral fats will burn first before the subcutaneous fats.
So don't worry if you're on diet and you have'nt seen the results yet. It starts from the inside!
What is the recommended calorie Intake per day?
Recommended calorie intake depends on different factors such as age, size, height, gender lifestyle and overall general health.
For an average male adult, needs approximately 2,500 calories to keep his weight constant.
While for an average female adult, they need 2,000 calorie intake per day to keep her weight constant.
Thus, if you eat a lot, exercise is needed to burn excess calories.
When your'e on a party or a buffet, be sure to have a run after to burn somes fats and calories!

So, now that we are aware of this information, Will you still eat more?
Always remember, Calories are the tiny creatures living in your closet sewing your clothes a little bit tighter every night
