Protein, Calories and How We Use Foods
Food is supposed to be used for energy. Every action performed by our bodies requires some energy to perform, and we even burn calories while we are sleeping. Our hearts beat, our lungs expand and our body continues to do countless activities. Much of the body’s most serious work is done at night when our brain is asleep. For all of these actions to take place, we need the right kinds of foods and nutrients, including protein, fats and calories.
