Calories are essentially energy, and once we consume calories (through foods or liquids) those calories will fuel our body to perform its basic bodily functions like digestion and thermal regulation, as well as our daily routines such as working and exercising.
To perform all of these actions our body needs fuel, that’s why we become hungry.
