A calorie is a unit of energy. The term "calorie" is scientifically defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
However, the calorie we talk about is the amount of energy in what we eat and drink, the calories in food provide energy in the form of heat so that our bodies can function even at rest to maintain basic body functions like breathing and blood circulation.
An ideal daily intake of calories varies depending on age, gender and levels of physical activity. A healthy amount of calories for adult women ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 calories per day and for men it's 2,000 to 3,200 calories per day.
Be aware that any sudden and heavy weight change may cause harm to your health. Please consult with a doctor or registered nutritionist to plan your long-term nutrition and exercise program when your target is to lose 0.5 kg or more per week. Today, more than half of adults have one or more diet-related chronic diseases. Chronic patients should consider medical nutritional therapy in the overall planning and implementation of chronic disease management.
