The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a food type has more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when eaten.

Low calorie food types include watercress, radishes, apricot, beef, and low-fat cheese.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
