If you eat too many calories, instead of using them for energy your body stores the energy as fat to use at a later time. It is stored in your liver, muscles and fat cells.

If 405.0 ml of water had its temperature raised by 17.2 degrees celsius how many calories would have been put into the water?

I don't think you actually put calories into the water. You would dissipate thermal energy that could be measured in kCal or calories to heat the water. You may be thinking of the stored thermal energy from the heated water.


Are more calories in food healthy?

Burning calories is what supplies your body with energy, so they are certainly necesary. An average person requires a 2,000 calorie diet. Too few calories can lead to health problems, such as loss of muscle mass or unhealthy skin, teeth, etc., and can also impare growth. These are extreme cases. Too many calories in your diet, however, usually means you are consuming too much fat, as this is one of the prime sources of calories.

How many calories does it take to burn off 1 pound?

Proper weight training will build muscle. Muscle is your metabolic furnace that will burn additional calories 24 hours a day. If you were to add, say, 10 pounds of muscle in the next year, your body might burn an additional 350 - 500 calories daily.Although conventional wisdom has long stated that a pound of muscle will burn, on average, 30 to 50 calories per day, one recent piece of research says this is incorrect and that a pound of muscle burns about 6 calories a day...a lot less than what many of us thought, but still more than a pound of fat, which burns only 2 calories in a day.From my personal experience though I can say that 6 calories seems off. When I gain 10lbs of muscle, an increase of 60 calories in my diet would not keep me gaining. I've found that my perfect mark to keep gaining but not get fat is 12-15 calories per pound of muscle.

How many calories does it take to gain 1 pound?

How many unused calories is what's important here. Remember that you're burning calories just sitting around- about 80 an hour or so. You burn at least 1000 calories in a day just breathing, thinking and so on. A pound of fat contains roughly 4082 calories. So you'd have to consume 4082 calories beyond what you burn in a day to gain a pound of fat. Conversely, you'd need to burn 4082 calories more than you consume to lose a pound of fat. That may seem like a lot, but realize that an extra hundred calories a day, everyday, over the course of a lifetime can really add up, a pound a month, 12 pounds a year. A pound is equivalant to 453.592 grams, and 1 gram of fat is equal to 9 calories. Therefore 453.592 grams per pound*9 calories per gram of fat= 4082.328 calories per pound. But in all reality all of those calories wouldn't be stored as fat. They could be stored as protein or carbohydrates, which both contain 4 calories per gram, so plug in four instead and you get 1814.368 calories per pound. So calories needed to gain a pound are 1814.368 to 4082.328 calories.
