The calorie is a pre-SI unit of energy, in particular, heat. [1] In most fields, its use is archaic, and the SI unit of energy, the joule, has become accepted. However, it remains in common use as a unit of food energy. It was first defined by Professor Nicolas Clément in 1824 as a kilogram-calorie, and this definition entered French and English dictionaries between 1841 and 1867. Etymology French calorie, from Latin calor (heat). The unit calorie has historically been used in two major alternate definitions that differ by a factor of 1000 The second definition is the one commonly used to express food energy, e.g. when discussing dieting or nutrition plans. Under this definition, 1 g of pure carbohydrate yields about 4 Calories of energy, and the recommended intake for an adult person is about 2,000 - 2,500 Calories/day. It is alternatively referred to as Calorie (Cal), kilocalorie (kcal) or even calorie with lowercase 'c'. The potential for confusion can be avoided by using the SI units (joules or kilojoules). Apart from these two major alternate definitions, there exist also minor variants of the definition of this unit, which differ in the exact experimental conditions used, most notably the start temperature of the water (see section below).

7. What Are The Reasons We Eat Food?
November 18, 2008
That might seem like a silly question, because we eat to feed our bodies, first of all.

There are many compelling reasons to move towards a vegetarian diet, many of them health-related. But many people refuse to eat meat because of the inhumane treatment of the animals that are mass-produced to feed the population. Animal farming on the scale that it needs to be to satisfy U.S. consumption is grotesquely cruel. When you eat meat, you... (read more)

Calorie Shifting is not exactly a new form of dieting, its been around for awhile, it has just never been an easy to follow diet.

21. NEGATIVE CALORIE FOODS

A simple explanation for “negative calorie food” is that your digestive system uses more calories to burn the negative calorie food (e.g. broccoli) than the food itself has. For instance, were you to eat a serving of asparagus (very low in calories), your digestive system has to use mor... (read more)
