A calorie is a unit of (heat) energy used in nutrition. Calories provide energy in the form of heat so our bodies can function. We usually say we "burn" calories during daily activities and when we exercise.

A calorie can also be defined as the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water by one degree celsius.

# data[].attributes.body
The average amount of calories someone consumes is a round 2000. But it varies, pregnant people and children need more but people who work desk jobs don't need to eat as much as they sit around most of the day.

A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius. We use this form of measurement to see how much energy we are consuming through the food we eat.

an adult should consume 2000 calories a day depending on how active they are.

A diet is the food that a person usually eats every day. It could also be a restriction of what one eats every day in order to lose weight.

# data[].attributes.body
"Calor" = heat

1 small calorie = energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.

Consumption should be around 2000-2500, though it depends on how active the person is.

Maximum sustainable consumption and burning of calories according to a study is 4000-5000 calories, though it is possible that this can be exceeded.

The energy value in foods is often given in big calories/kilocalories, and thus 1 big calorie = energy required to raise 1kg of water 1 degree celsius.

Caloric deficit is often used to lose weight (fasting, keto).

Caloric surplus is often used to gain weight to build muscle and strength (bulking).

A calorie is a unit of measurement for the energy consumed through our food and nutritious sources. It is typically shown on the packaging of different items of food near the kJ level (kilo joule - energy the food contains and an give to you). Typically one must ingest an average of 2000 calories per day, but this is around adulthood and increases through adolescence and childhood, where the calorie requirement is lower. Different people need different amounts of calories in different conditions.

In biology there is the equation to find how many calories there are in something.

# data[].attributes.body
A calorie is a unit of measurement used for energy consumed. An average woman should consume about 2000 calories a day and an average man should consume about 2500 calories in a day. However, people need to consume different amounts of calories depending on the amount of physical activity that they do.

Allergies are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity to a substance in the environment.

intolerance is an inability to intake a substance such as milk without harmful effects.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life threatening allergic reaction. It occurs really quickly.

sensitivity- When you have a food allergy, your immune system causes a reaction. A food sensitivity is triggered by the digestive, not immune system.

# data[].attributes.body
Allergy = an immune response to exposure of a substance that it has become sensitive to. This substance isn't necessarily harmful, but the body's immune system thinks it is.

If symptoms are potentially fatal, the person enters anaphylaxis.

Sensitivity or hypersensitivity to a substance is when the body is quick to react to that substance's exposure. If the body does this, it is most likely allergic to it.

Ingestion of a substance that the body is intolerant to can cause adverse effects, but will not induce an immune response. As such, symptoms may take longer to become noticeable. Note that if the body is intolerant to something, it isn't necessarily allergic or sensitive to it. Eg. you can be lactose intolerant and get diarrhoea because of the body's inability/reduced ability to digest lactose - but not get hives or swelling of the lips and throat (symptoms of a milk allergy).

# data[].attributes.body
When someone is allergic this means they receive an allergy from when their body reacts with an allergen in the environment. This is a negative reaction that can lead to small effects and mild rashes all the way to more serious, life-threatening conditions. An example of a potentially life threatening allergic reaction is an anaphylactic one, where the person can be sent into anaphylactic shock. This is when a condition called anaphylaxis is present and it is a hypersensitivity reaction that involves. If someone is intolerant to a food or medicine it means that they cannot have that without adverse effects, these effects could be similar to those of an allergic reaction, linking these two terms together. Sensitivity is a close term with all of them as it is a term expressing the state of something being easily damaged, injured or distressed by slight changes, in this case eating or ingesting something that they are intolerant to, that could lead to an allergic reaction or a state of anaphylaxis or anaphylatic shock. The main contrasting difference between the terms is that they express similar things in different magnitudes but also in different degrees of specificity. Anaphylaxis is a specific condition which can be a result of someone being allergic to something else. Sensitivity is the state of being or having an organ that is very easily stressed or changed by slight changes such as eating something one is intolerant to.

- A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree.

- Nowadays, it is calculated by adding up the amount of energy given by the food ingested.

-  Adult women: 1,600 to 2,400
Adult male: 2,000 to 3,000
Although it could change based on who the person is.

Allergies are your immune system's response to foreign substances in the body (these are called allergens and they aren't typically harmful). The body attacks these allergens which can result in sneezing, swelling and inflammation among others. Allergies can be life-threatening, they usually come on suddenly after being triggered by a small amount of the allergen.

In severe cases, allergies can cause anaphylaxis. When someone is sent into anaphylactic shock, this is a life-treating reaction to an allergen that can cause difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness and lightheadedness.

Unlike allergies, intolerance  is not life-threatening. Intolerance means you lack certain enzymes needed to breakdown and absorb certain elements in food. Whilst a food allergy happens when your immune system mistakes something in food as harmful and attacks it but when a food irritates your stomach or your body can't properly digest it, that’s an intolerance.

Sensitivity is someone's physical response to a certain food, beverage, or ingredient. The symptoms can include only digestive problems (ex. abdominal pain, bloating, and gas)

From what I know, a calorie is a unit to estimate how much energy there is in food and how much energy is released when we consume it.

An average woman probably should consume 2,000 calories and a man should consume 2,500.

# data[].attributes.body
The energy balance equation is the relationship between the energy consumed – measured in calories and the energy expended – also measured in calories. Maintaining a healthy weight requires a balance between energy in and energy out. Too much energy in or too little energy out leads to excess energy being stored as fat. Too little energy in or too much energy out leads to weight loss. Typically, men require 2,500 Kcal per day and women 2,000 Kcal but these general values are affected by four main factors:

age – in general, adults consume more than children but calorie consumption declines in later life

gender – in general, men consume more than women

height – the taller the person, the more that person will need to consume

energy expenditure – the more active a person is, the more calories are required to maintain weight

A calorie is a unit for measuring the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

adults should consume between 1500 and 2500 calories a day based on their size/diet/gender

Allergy- A substance which causes a harmful immune response. The response is Anaphylaxis, a potentially deadly reaction which can cause swelling, difficulty breathing and loss of consciousness.

Intolerance- Difficulty in digestion which causes uncomfortable effects. Occurs when the body becomes sensitive to a substance.

# data[].attributes.body
The term allergic is defined as having an damaging immune response by the body to a substance. This can cause Anaphylaxis, which is a allergic reaction that becomes extremely severe.

We also confuse the terms intolerance with allergic but they are slightly different as food allergies affect numerous organs and the immune system whereas an intolerance usually only affects the digestive system and have milder symptoms.

Both these terms are similar to the word sensitive because these people are "quick to detect or react to changes" but are not the same as being sensitive does not mean that you will have a physical reaction to something.
