Top 25 Low-Calorie Foods

Posted on March 26, 2008 in Latest News

The key to losing weight is burning calories which have been consumed. Overweight is a problem to many who don’t know how to balance their diet patterns with activity. Often ignorance also leads to uncontrolled weight gain. For instance, people talk about eating low-calorie foods but aren’t really sure about what is meant by “calories” or what foods are high or low in calories.

What is meant by “calories”?
Calorie is nothing but the unit of heat or energy that is released by the body through activity. Experts claim that higher the calories in a food, higher will be the rates of release of energy when burned.
