Calories and the Inaccuracy of Calorie Counting
Calories are a useful tool for measuring the amount of food consumed, but they do not reflect the quality of the food. The caloric content of a food does not determine its nutritional value or its impact on health. Different foods can have different caloric availabilities, meaning that the body may extract different amounts of calories from the same food depending on how it is prepared or processed.
