A Teaspoonful of Honey
Our bodies produce heat, or energy, from the foods we eat. The energy producing value
of food is measured in calories. Some people count their calories as carefully as they count their
money. They know that the calorie is the unit of measurement that influences weight.
The number of calories a person needs each day depends upon age, body structure, and
the kind of work one does. Calories needs differ from one individual to another. Boys between
the ages of 14 and 15 may need about 3100 calories a day. Girls of the same age usually need
only about 2600 calories a day. People who do physical hard work may need as many as 4000
calories a day.
The food person eats in three, well – balanced meals each day usually provides all the
energy – making calories needed. Sometimes individuals take in more calories than their bodies
can use. Such extra calories are deposited in the body as fat. Those people who have stored too
much fat, or wish to maintain the weight at which they feel and look their best, must carefully
watch their intake of food. They must also count their calories. How surprised some of them are
to find that a teaspoonful of honey contains 100 calories.
