Nut

A nut is a fruit composed of a hard shell and a seed, which is generally

edible. In a general context, however, a wide variety of dried seeds are
called nuts, but in a botanical context, there is an additional requirement
that the shell does not open to release the seed (indehiscent). The
translation of "nut" in certain languages frequently requires paraphrases, as
the word is ambiguous.
Most seeds come from fruits that naturally free themselves from the shell,
unlike nuts such as hazelnuts, chestnuts, and acorns, which have hard
shell walls and originate from a compound ovary. The general and original
usage of the term is less restrictive, and many nuts (in the culinary sense),
such as almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nuts,[1] are not
nuts in a botanical sense. Common usage of the term often refers to any
hard-walled, edible kernel as a nut.[2]
A calorie is a unit of measurement — but it doesn't measure weight or
length. A calorie is a unit of energy. When you hear something
contains 100 calories, it's a way of describing how much energy your body
could get from eating or drinking it.

Also called small calorie. Calorie A unit of heat equal to the amount of
heat needed to raise the temperature of 1,000 grams of water by one
degree Celsius. This unit is used as a measure of the energy released
by food as it is digested by the human body. Also called kilocalorie,
large calorie.

How much energy in a calory

It takes 3,500 calories to equal one pound of body weight. 1 calorie = 4.2
joules so 1 kilocalorie = 4.2 kilojoules. The energy value per GRAM of
various food components includes: Water = 0kJ (0 Cal)

What is he function of calorie in our body

Your body uses calories for many functions, such as breathing, pumping
blood, resting, sitting, working, and exercising. So the calorie is used to
measure both the amount of energy contained in foods, as well as the
amount of energy your body uses.
What is a calory in food

What is the difference between calories and kilocalories? The "calorie"

we refer to infood is actually kilocalorie. One (1) kilocalorie is the same as
one (1) Calorie (upper case C). A kilocalorie is the amount of heat required
to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water one degree Celsius.

What is unit of calory

Calories are units of energy. Various definitions exist but fall into two broad
categories. The small calorie or gram calorie (symbol: cal) is the
approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of
one gram of water by onedegree Celsius at a pressure of one
atmosphere.

What is kJ (kilojoules) in food

kJ (kilojoules) is the Australian measure of how much energy people get

from consuming a food or drink. Energy in food and drinks is measured by
the number ofkJ (kilojoules) it provides. kJ are similar to Calories: 1 kJ =
0.2 Calories (Cals) 1 Calorie = 4.2 kJs.

How do calories affect the human body?

Eating more calories than your body burns causes the body to either
excrete the energy or store it in fat cells for the future. When you have
adequate supplies of insulin your body chooses to store
excess calories in fat cells. The result is weight gain and higher body fat
percentages.

Everyone loves a great bar. In this case, we're talking about the kind you
can pack as a perfectly portable meal or snack (though we love bars
with alcoholic drinks too). Whether you need a breakfast you can eat while
commuting, a post-workout snack to hold you until dinner, or a scrumptious
yet healthy dessert, bars are fantastic, any time and for any mood you’re in.
Health effects[edit]
People who eat nuts regularly have better health outcomes.[10] This
includes less coronary heart disease (CHD), less cancer, and lower
chances of death.[10][11]
Nuts were first linked to protection against CHD in 1993.[12] Eating various
nuts such as almonds and walnuts can lower serum low density
lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations. Although nuts contain various substances
thought to possess cardioprotective effects, their omega 3 fatty acid profile
is at least in part responsible for the hypolipidemic response.[13] Nuts have
a very low glycemic index (GI)[14] due to their high unsaturated fat and
protein content and relatively low carbohydrate content.[15] Consequently,
dietitians frequently recommend that nuts be included in diets of people
with insulin resistance such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus.[16] One study
found that people who eat nuts live two to three years longer than those
who do not.[17] However, this may be because people who eat nuts tend to
eat less junk food.[18]

Key Benefits with Eating Energy Bars

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Nick Reyes

So your probably asking yourself ” Why energy bars? Why should I grab a
bar to eat for breakfast when I can just grab a banana?”
Well first of all let’s be honest here, your not going to eat that banana. It’s
been sitting there for like a week now and it is just NOT looking good.
Plus if your like me, you lose the taste for it’s fairly plain flavor pretty quick.
Now an energy bar is delicious! At least mine are ;p The sweet flavor of
honey hits your lips first followed by the tart deliciousness of cranberry with
a hint of cinnamon to just tease your tastebuds to death and leave them
craving for more!
Beyond the flavor here are some other reasons done by a study in 2007:
In Sports Supplements, Bean (2007) highlights key benefits associated with
eating energy bars, to include the following:
 provides convenient energy source
 boosts carbohydrate levels
 helps improve endurance
 provides athletes with sustained release of energy
 helps maintain blood sugar levels
 postpones exercise-related fatigue
 convenient post-exercise snack
 re-fuels glycogen stores
