A calorie is a unit of energy that the body usually uses in the form of glucose. Calories come from fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Fat is an organic compound that contains 9 calories per gram. Types of fats include heart healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats and unhealthy saturated and synthetic trans fats. Sugar is a carbohydrate, so it contains 4 calories per gram. Natural sugars such as those is fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, and dairy products are very healthy. Sugars such as sucrose, honey, molasses, and cane juice are not necessarily bad for you but are best used in moderation. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are healthy for you and should add up to about 25% of your daily calorie intake. Limit your intake of artery-clogging saturated fat and completely avoid trans fat. If that is not possible for you try to keep your daily intake under 1-2 grams. Your daily diet should generally contain 25% protein, 25% healthy fat, and 50% carbohydrates (sugars and starches). However this can change depending on your dietary needs and activity level.
