A calorie is a unit of energy that measures how much energy food provides to the body. The body needs calories to function properly. Fats are nutrients in food that the body uses to build cell membranes, nerve tissue (like the brain), and hormones. A gram of fat has about 9 calories, while a gram of carbohydrate or protein has about 4 calories.
