What do you mean by calories in food?
Every time you sit down to enjoy a meal, each food item and beverage contains energy locked away in chemical bonds. Once the food or drink is ingested, it's metabolized or broken down by your body to release the stored energy. Your cells then capture and use this unleashed energy to fuel normal bodily functions necessary for survival. To measure the energy extracted and used from food and drinks, we use a unit called a calorie.
