 I want to know how many calories I really intake because I know that the smallest foods can hold statling amounts of calories and I am currently on a low cal diet (yes, that actaully works for me) and I was trying to find a way to cut calories without starving to death. It seems every little thing these days short of a blade of grass or a leaf has too many calories and I'm pretty much trying to keep up with what's what. So if a Kcal is 1000 calories then how do I know the difference between a Kcal and a calorie, if people say they are the same?

A Kcal and a food calorie are the same thing. A (non-food) calorie is a measure of energy, being the amount of energy it takes to raise 1mL of water by 1 degree Celsius. It only becomes an issue because DDR gives workout results in Kcal. Everything you want to know is here: getupmove.proboards26.com/index.cgi?board=pounds&action=display&thread=1084248909BTW, there was really no need for this to be a poll. It's a matter of fact, not opinion (/looks over at avatar label).... |
