[quote=Anonymous]I usually redirect conversations about calories to “food energy.” Your body needs a certain amount of energy and nutrients to function and to grow, and foods provide both. What do we know about food A in terms of energy and nutrients provided? You can eat only veggies and get lots of nutrients but not enough energy, or you can eat cake and get lots of energy but no nutrients, or you can eat a balanced meal (say, pasta with chicken and veggies from the PP) and get lots of nutrients and energy.
