Food contains energy which we can use by digesting the food, breaking it down into chemicals which the body can use to supply the brain and muscles, and maintain body temperature. The quantity of energy in food is measured in calories. One calorie is a very small quantity so 'calories' used for food nutrition are in fact kilocalories, 1000 times as big.
