Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The amount of energy in an item of food or drink is measured in calories. When we eat and drink more calories than we use up, our bodies store the excess as body fat. If this continues, over time we may put on weight. As a guide, an average man needs around 2, 500kcal (10, 500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolism: Converting food into energy. Metabolism is the process by which the body changes food and drink into energy. During this process, calories in food and drinks mix with oxygen to make the energy the body needs.
