Answer: Calories are the amount of energy released when your body breaks down (digests and absorbs) food.



Step-by-step explanation:

The more calories a food has, the more energy it can provide to your body. When you eat more calories than you need, your body stores the extra calories as body fat. Even a fat-free food can have a lot of calories
