Foryearsnow,calorieshavebeenalltherage—peoplearecountingthemandcuttingthem,andyou'dbehard-pressedtofindsomethingatthesupermarketthatdoesnotlistitscaloriesperservingsomewhereonthepackage.Buthaveyoueverwonderedwhatexactlyacalorieis?

WhatIsaCalorie?

Acalorieisaunitofenergy.Wetendtoassociatecalorieswithfood,buttheyapplytoanythingcontainingenergy.Forexample,agallon(about4liters)ofgasolinecontainsabout31,000,000calories.

Specifically,acalorieistheamountofenergy,orheat,ittakestoraisethetemperatureof1gramofwater1degreeCelsius(1.8degreesFahrenheit).Onecalorieisequalto4.184joules(焦耳),acommonunitofenergyusedinthephysicalsciences.Mostofusthinkofcaloriesinrelationtofood,asin"Thiscanofsodahas200calories."Itturnsoutthatthecaloriesonafoodpackageareactuallykilocalories(1,000calories=1kilocalorie).Thewordissometimescapitalizedtoshowthedifference,butusuallynot.Afoodcaloriecontains4,184joules.Acanofsodacontaining200foodcaloriescontains200,000regularcalories,or200kilocalories.Agallonofgasolinecontains31,000kilocalories.

Thesameappliestoexercise—whenafitnesschartsaysyouburnabout100caloriesforeverymileyoujog,itmeans100kilocalories.Forthedurationofthisarticle,whenwesay"calorie",wemean"kilocalorie"

WhatCaloriesDo?

Humanbeingsneedenergytosurvive—tobreathe,move,pumpblood—andtheyacquirethisenergyfromfood.

Thenumberofcaloriesinafoodisameasureofhow-muchpotentialenergythatfoodpossesses.Agramofcarbohydrates(碳水化合物)has4calories,agramofproteinhas4calories,andagramoffathas9calories.Foodsareacompilationofthesethreebuildingblocks.Soifyouknowhowmanycarbohydrates,fatsandproteinsareinanygivenfood,youknowhowmanycalories,orhowmuchenergy,thatfoodcontains.

Ourbodies"burn"thecaloriesintheoatmealthroughmetabolic(新陈代谢的)processes,bywhichenzymes(酵素)breakthecarbohydratesintoglucose(葡萄糖)andothersugars,thefatsintoglycerol(丙三醇)andfattyacidsandtheproteinsintoaminoacids(氨基酸).Thesemoleculesarethentransportedthroughthebloodstreamtothecells,wheretheyareeitherabsorbedforimmediateuseorsentontothefinalstageofmetabolisminwhichtheyarereactedwithoxygentoreleasetheirstoredenergy.
