| definition: |
A calorie is a unit of energy that a food can give to your body. Cheese has more calories than an apple, so cheese gives the body more energy. If the energy is not used for doing something, the body stores that energy in the body, usually as fat.
Sugar is high in calories, so when we drink soft drinks, we take in a lot of calories. |
