I have MFP update Facebook anytime I log my exercise. One of my friends tonight asked what a calorie is. Well, I know it's a unit of energy, and too much excess will make you gain weight and too little will make you lose weight. But other than that, what really is a calorie? I came across this link that explains is very well and even puts it into perspective like using the example in this post's subject line. The energy from the calories contained in 217 Big Macs would be enough to run a car for 88 miles. Crazy! :noway:

Read and enjoy!! :bigsmile:
