What Are Calories?
Calories are units of energy that your body uses to function. Every activity you do—walking, exercising, even breathing—requires energy, and that energy comes from the food you eat.
Calories come from three main macronutrients:
- Carbohydrates
- Proteins
- Fats
Managing your calorie intake is the key to controlling your weight.

Calories and Weight Management
Weight change is based on energy balance:
