Detailed explanation-1: -Are Calories Bad for You? Calories aren’t bad for you. Your body needs calories for energy. But eating too many calories-and not burning enough of them off through activity-can lead to weight gain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Calorie consumption that is too low or too high will eventually lead to health problems. The number of calories in food tells us how much potential energy they contain. It is not only calories that are important, but also the substance from which the calories are taken.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most women need 1, 600 to 2, 000 calories per day to maintain their weight, while most men require 2, 000 to 2, 400 calories per day. Your number may be more or less. Another approach is to simply limit your portions, which automatically has the effect of limiting calories.
