What are low-calorie foods?

A calorie, a unit of energy, is still widely used in nutrition measurements and fitness manuals, and anyone concerned about losing weight has probably heard of it. It takes 1 gram of water to raise the temperature by 1 degree Celsius at 1 atmosphere, which is 1 calorie, and 1000 calories is 1 CAL.

In the process of digestion and absorption, the body actually needs to burn calories. If the food itself is very low in calories, exercise when eating low-calorie food can quickly replenish energy, quickly exclude the body, will not accumulate in the body, will not form fat. Similarly, if you eat a high calorie diet and don't exercise (burning fewer calories), your body will store excess calories in the form of fat, resulting in obesity.
