PARTICLE THEORY
The particle theory explains the different
states of matter. All matter consists of small
particles that are arranged differently and
move in different ways. The ways in which the
particles move is determined by the amount of
energy they have.

Calories are simply a measure of _______________. Your basal
metabolic rate (BMR) is how many _______________ your body needs at
rest. When we __________________, we burn more energy, which means we
need ____________ calories to eat. ______________ is energy, therefore it has
calories. The number of calories a food contains depends on what the
food is made of. You can find out how many calories are in a food by
reading the ________________________ label. All packaged foods needs to have
a nutritional label. Junk food contains _________________ calories because it
lacks the _________________________ that our body needs to feel good.

Calories are simply a measure of energy. Your basal metabolic rate
(BMR) is how many calories your body needs at rest. When we exercise,
we burn more energy, which means we need more calories to eat. Food
is energy, therefore it has calories. The number of calories a food
contains depends on what the food is made of. You can find out how
many calories are in a food by reading the nutritional label. All packaged
foods needs to have a nutritional label. Junk food contains empty
calories because it lacks the nutrients that our body needs to feel good.

Questions
1. Explain how calories and exercise are related?

- The more we exercise, the more calories we need. Conversely, the less

we exercise, the less food we need.

2. What are empty calories? What are some foods that have empty
calories?

Calories that have no nutrients – usually sugar packed foods like candy,

pop, fruit juices that lack real fruit.

3. How would your body feel if you only ate empty calories?
Sluggish, tired, headaches, poor performance in school/sports, health
complications.
