Calories are a measure of energy found in the foods and beverages we consume, originating from macronutrients—carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. They serve as fuel for the body's essential functions, physical activity, and overall energy needs. While calories themselves are not a food, they are inherent in every cuisine and dietary tradition worldwide, as they reflect the energy density of various ingredients. Regarding health, the quality and source of calories matter; foods rich in vitamins, fiber, and healthy fats, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, provide "nutrient-dense" calories that support well-being. Conversely, "empty calories" from sugary snacks and processed foods offer energy without significant nutritional benefit, which, if consumed excessively, may contribute to weight gain and health issues. Balancing calorie intake with activity levels and nutrient quality is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
