A calorie, by definition, is the amount of energy it takes to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius. It is a measure of heat energy. To people, calories are found in foods and drinks, which give us energy. Each calorie is like a measure of potential energy we can then use. Living and exercising thus "burns" calories as we use up the energy we have consumed.
