A calorie is a unit of heat.  When we say a given food has X number of calories per serving, we are talking about how much fuel is in it for your body.  If you eat normally, and neither gain nor lose weight, you are an "average" person on an "average" diet.  To lose weight, you must eat less than YOU need, whether or not less than the average person needs.  For example, my body is very slow to metabolize food, and loves to store fat all around it.  This is partly genetic, as my German ancestors had to endure long, cold winters.  It is also from not getting enough exercise, for a variety of reasons.  And finally, it is a snowball thing: you eat more than you burn for many years, it gets harder to burn more than you eat.\n\nSo when you are young and the differences are small is the time to get a handle on just how you can eat well and exercise well and get your body into its best configuration possible.  You will probably need the help of some older and wiser heads that know about nutrition, exercise, and your particular needs.  If your parents have a handle on the third, they will surely help you find what you need about the first two.  If you are still in school, there is the school nurse and/or nutritionist and the gym teacher.  (Doesn't matter if you hate her, but get her help anyway. I hated mine, and now I weigh 300 lbs.!)\n\nThe younger you are when you get yourself under control, the more successful you will be in all fields, not just in looking good!

Look online for a metabolism calculator to give a rough idea of how many calories you're burning on an average basis (it's based on your activity level during the day-- whether you sit at a desk all day or work construction). Based on the numbers you plug in (combined with current height and weight information), you'll get an estimate of the total number of calories need to maintain your current weight. \n\nThen, you just take in more calories than that. \n\nI would suggest that you try to take in calories from good sources, rather than pigging out on Devil Dogs or Twinkies. Presumably, you want the weight to be packed on in the form of muscle, so you need to give your body the right kinds of raw materials to do the job. Use good sources of protein.

The easiest way to determine how many calories you can eat and lose weight is by figuiring out how many calories you burn a day.  As long as you burn more than you eat, you'll lose weight.

Your brain is a glucose  (sugar) junkie!! if you are cutting calories too much and your blood sugar gets low, the brain gets all upset and gives you unbearable cravings for those carb calories......so maybe try to eat a little more calorie wise and it should get better....

dude people. you don't need to be on a diet to be skinny! don't you know that food is energy? So if you eat like a big meal then you go and work it out in the gym or something. Calories basically is the amount of energy (i now the definition is like 1 degree Celsius but ya..). So stop dieting and EAT WHAT YOU WANT (JUST MAKE SURE YOU EAT RIGHT AMOUNT TO USE IT OFF~suggestion: swimming)

It's not, that is only a certain method of measuring a calorie.  A calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius at 1 atmospheric pressure.  \n14.5 and 15.5 (celsius) are merely the temperatures chosen to start and end at.  There is also the 20 degree calorie (19.5-20.5) and 4 degree calorie (3.5-4.5). The differences in energy required from different temperatures vary in the thousandths of a joule.

There is not direct relationship.  I suppose if you intake too many calories, then your BMI will rise to an unsafe level.  And what do you mean by the "number of calories?"  In the universe?  In a McRib sandwich?  In me?  Haha, just kidding with you, but this question really does not make an sense.

Consult with a nutritionist.  Doing housework, laundry, even making dinner and breastfeeding is burning calories.  Your issue could be more with what you are eating and how much.  A friend of mine who always battles with her weight once said, "I don't understand.  All I eat for lunch is a bag of microwave popcorn.  It's only 400 calories... and I'm not loosing weight!"  Well there is much more to understand about metabolism and the kind of food you're eating, how much and how often.  \n\nDo a little reading up to understand the basics on weight loss.  Check out http://fatloss4idiots.com/  They offer some really good, easy and practical tips.  You don't necessarily need to sign up for their weight loss plan (it includes veggies, so you probably wouldn't like it) but it might help you begin understanding some basic dietary principals.  If you do do it, I'd suggest only doing  it to jump start yourself and see that you can loose weight and switch to better eating habits for further weight loss.   \n\nConsider hiring a nutritionist to assess your eating habits and help you come up with a plan.  Maybe start with going to your doctor and see if you can get a referral for a nutritionist...?   Keep a journal and write down everything you ingest with the calories and fat.  This will at least help you better understand what foods you might want to cut out.\n\nEat 4-6 smaller meals a day at least a couple hours apart.  \n\nPlans your meals the day before and bring your own food to work.  Vending machines and fast food will only tempt you to eat what you don't need during your diet.\n\nWhen you want to snack, don't.  Drink water instead and chew gum.  The first couple of days will be the hardest because your body is expecting the food and you will feel really hollow inside and hungry.  Be strong and push through it.  It gets much easier after the first few days.\n\nNow it would be helpful to find some way to fit in walking.  Check craigslist.org under your city for a deal on a used treadmill and try scheduling time to walk 15 minutes in the morning.  Set it up in front of a tv and you'll be done before you know it.  You are getting up early, however I bet you can cut out eating breakfast instead grab a bottle of water and walk on the treadmill.  Grab a Cliff bar or similar diet bar or shake and eat on the way to work.  You will burn the most calories then and it will give you a boost of energy not to mention kicking your metabolism up a notch.  At work, skip a couple of lunches during the week and go to a nearby gym to do a water aerobics, lift weights, or whatever you find a fun class to exercise in.  Eat another bar or shake afterwards on your way back to work on those days. \n\nAnd regardless if you're dieting or not, you might try fresh veggies, and/or raw veggies.  They taste so much better than anything out of a can and they'll be better for you too.   If you just can't handle any veggies, find your vegetables elsewhere like in a v-8 juice or even a supplement.  \n\nGood luck and hope this helps some.  If you find you just can't do it alone, check out ediets.com, a Jenny Craig or similar program where you can get more guidance and support.

As you get closer to your goal weight its harder to shed the pounds. Additionally if you just lost quite a bit of weight your body will plateau for a while. Keep doing what you are doing and cut the calories by maybe 100 more a day and be sure that your exercise is challenging and not too easy. It will come off, be patient.

Consume less calories than your body needs to function on a daily basis. Calorie deficit will cause your body to shed fat. However, if you cut back TOO drastically your body thinks it's in trouble, and your metabolism shuts down. A good balanced diet, and at least moderate exercise. There are NO quick cures; there are no miracle diets. REALLY!

1 gram of fat contains 9 calories of energy\nthe thing is you burn calories to get it in you and to store it and such so instead of 4500 calories you might think it is actually going to be less.\n\n3500 calories per pound is the standard number used which is equivalent to 3855 calories for 500 g.\n\nso it depends on if you are talking about a human eating less or working it off to lose the weight or if you are talking about the amount of extra calories you need to eat to gain a pound (3855 or 4500).\n\nweird huh?

Drop your calorie intake to 1400-1600 calories only.  Cut out as many carbs as you can.

you need to find how many calories the exercise burn, find your resting metabolic rate, subtract 500 calories from that, 500 calorie reduction cause weight loss of 1 lb, but be sure to take in min of 1200 calories per day for healthy food and protein,  and half you body weight in oz. per day of water, protein is your energy source when exercising if you do not have proper protein intake you body will burn the muscle convert to fat and use that for energy, if you take in protein your body will burn the fat to help process the protein thus leaving you lean and not fluffy.

If you're human, you do.  The food you eat is broken down to make the energy you need to live.  The energy is measured in calories.
