Calories do not have any nutritional value in the means of vitamins/minerals/nutrients. They provide energy so are, in a way, vital for the body. The reason that people think they are the main cause of fat (and look upon them as pure evil) is because if they are not used as energy, they are stored as fat. Foods with more calories are not necessarily unhealthier; it is just that people cannot get off their fat arses and burn those calories off!
