Why is is important to know our daily allowance for calories?
Calories are the measure of energy a food or beverage provides—from the carbohydrate, fat, and protein it contains.
Calories are the fuel you need to work and play. Foods and beverages vary in how many calories and nutrients they contain. o You will gain weight when the calories you eat and drink are greater than the calories you burn. The current high rates of overweight and obesity in the United States mean that many people are taking in more calories than they burn.
Empty calories: You should limit your empty calorie intake because empty calories add calories to a food or beverage but few or no nutrients.
Empty calories come from solid fats and added sugars. Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter and shortening. Most solid fats are high in saturated fats and/or trans fats, which can increase the risk for heart disease. Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages when they are processed or prepared. This does not include naturally occurring sugars such as those in milk and fruits.
