What's the difference between fat and calories?

Fat is one of six nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. The other five nutrients are:

Carbohydrates (found in fruits, vegetables, pasta, rice, grains, peas, beans, and other legumes) Proteins (found in meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, and beans) Minerals (such as potassium, calcium, and iron) Vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K) Water

Of these six nutrients, carbohydrates, protein and fats provide calories. Each gram of carbohydrate and protein yield 4 calories/gram. Each gram of fat yields 9 calories. A calorie is a measurement, just like a teaspoon or an inch. Calories are the amount of energy released when your body breaks down (digests and absorbs) food. The more calories a food has, the more energy it can provide to your body. When you eat more calories than you need, your body stores the extra calories as body fat. Even a fat-free food can have a lot of calories. Excess calories in any form can be stored as body fat. perbezaan Calorie = satuan ukuran untuk energi. Digunakan juga untuk satuan energi yang diperoleh dari makanan. 1 g karbohidrat dapat menghasilkan 4 kalori, 1 g protein bisa menghasilkan 4 kalori. dan 1 g lemak menghasilkan 9 kalori. 1 kalori (Cal) = 1 kilo kalori (KCal).

Lemak = salah satu zat gizi yang dibutuhkan tubuh selain karbohidrat, protein, vitamin dan mineral. Lemak merupakan komponen yang tidak larut dalam air, dan merupakan pelarut untu vitamin A, D, E dan K. Dalam tubuh lemak dibutuhkan dalam jumlah yang sedikit karena kalo berlebihan, tubuh akan menyimpan lemak (this caused obesity).
