Why are calories bad for the body?

Answer 1

High calorie food isn't bad at all. We are simply being given the impression that it is. High calorie food combined with lazy people, is a recipe for people to start thinking high calorie foods are unhealthy or something. Calories are infact very important to get us through the day physically and mentally. Eating high calorie food is adding gallons of fuel to your body. If you 'use' it in the right way, they can help build you and sculpt you. People doing aneorobic exercise (weights, for example) have to consume huge amounts of calories to build muscle. If you utilize calories as you consume them, then they are gold to you. If you sit on your behind and eat vast amounts of calories the energy simply isn't utilized and tends to store itself as fat. Calories are not the problem. People are.
