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. HOWEVER, if you give your body too much fuel (too many calories) your body will store the extra energy to be used at a later time. This energy storage creates a buildup of adipose tissue which is otherwise known as fat!
