    Yes. A calorie is a measurement of energy. That's all.

    A calorie isn't good, bad, evil, healthy, unhealthy or any other subjective word you would like to use.
    Just as a kilometre is a kilometre - a measure of distance, not good, evil etc. It just is.

    If you are trying to debate the fact that some foods have greater nutritional value than others - that's a whole different matter.

    Seriously?
    That's like asking if a pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle

    When people (allegedly) eat 1200 calories, exercise 300 calories and don't lose weight, one has to wonder.
