Calories are a unit of measurement that tells how much energy (fuel) the food will provide for the body. Calories are not bad for you; you must have them to survive: your beating heart, breathing, even sleeping all require fuel (calories). Calories are found in protein (4 calories per gram), carbohydrates (also 4 calories per gram) and fat (9 calories per gram). As you can see, fat has the most calories per gram; beware of too much fat; especially saturated fats.
To maintain your weight, you must eat enough calories to keep your body fueled. To lose weight, you must take in less calories than you burn. It is actually fairly easy to maintain or lose weight if you eat the proper foods and exercise regularly. A little education and drive go a long way!
