A. Calories are units of energy. They refer to the amount of energy you get from foods and drinks, and the amount of energy you use through physical activities. For example, an apple has about 80 calories, while a 1.6 km walk might use up 100 calories. Calories are important for human health, and the key is having the right amount of it.
B. Everyone needs different amounts of energy per day depending on age, size and activity levels. An athlete needs more calories than an office worker. To stay in shape, an average adult requires at least 1,800 calories per day (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). If we eat just the number of calories our body needs each day, we will probably be healthy. However, eating too much can make you put on weight. To lose weight, eat fewer calories than your body burns each day.
