Calories are the amount of energy that it takes to burnthe food. Unless I'm mistaken; heat.
Calories are helpful because if you're into dieting you'll be able to track how many calories you've ate, and if it's under the amount you burn then you will obviously lose weight.
Start again! A calorie is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1cc (1ml) of water by 1oC.
For food and energy calculations, a 'food' calorie is equal to 1000 simple calories. So when I say my daily intake is 2000 calories, I really mean 2000 X 1000 of the 1o water calories.
That said, less than 1500 calories or so of food is becoming marginal. A sled-pulling polar explorer will consume 8000 to 12 000 calories per day. (A lot of which is required merely to keep warm.)
Counting calories is not a particularly useful activity, it is more useful to decide what your whole nutritional needs are, and diet accordingly.
