Calorie is a unit of energy. Our body needs energy to function. This energy comes from the food we eat. This is your energy input. We go through our daily routine and perform our chores. The body uses the stored energy to produce the movements. These are the calories you expend; this is your energy output. Once you have lost the excess weight you keep your energy input and output in balance and you will maintain your BMI in the healthy range of 18 to 25.
