What is the difference between a calorie and a kilocalorie?

A small calorie (cal) is the energy needed to heat 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. A kilocalorie (kcal), which is what food labels list as a "Calorie" with a capital C, equals 1,000 small calories. When people talk about calories in food, they almost always mean kilocalories.

How many calories does my body burn at rest?

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) accounts for 60 to 70 percent of your total daily calorie burn. For most adults, this ranges from about 1,200 to 2,000 calories per day, depending on age, sex, height, weight, and body composition.

Do all macronutrients have the same number of calories?

No. Carbohydrates and protein each provide 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram. Alcohol supplies 7 calories per gram but offers no essential nutrients.

Is it better to focus on calorie quality or calorie quantity?

Both matter. Calorie quantity determines whether you gain, lose, or maintain weight. Calorie quality affects your hunger levels, energy, nutrient intake, and long-term health. A balanced approach that considers both is the most sustainable strategy.
