EXAMPLE OF MEAL PLANS BASED ON A 2,000-CALORIE/DAY DIET
Let’s Talk Calories
A small calorie, or gram calorie as it is sometimes called, is the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. However, with regard to diets and nutrition, we talk of a large calorie, or kilogram calorie, which is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. That is, 1,000 small calories make up 1 large calorie. I know it sounds too scientific!
Basically, a calorie is potential energy. It is found in our foods in the form of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. These macronutrients are the three essentials that build muscle, provide energy, and maintain brain function. However, not all calories are created equal, for each macronutrient provides different calories per gram:
1 gram protein = 4 calories
1 gram carbohydrate = 4 calories
1 gram fat = 9 calories
1 gram alcohol = 7 calories
